If you’re inviting back Jeremy Renner for a project, it better be for a good reason. Renner explained on the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he originally took a break from the Mission: Impossible movie series because filming would take place internationally for a year and a half, and he didn’t want to be away from his daughter that long.
