The role Chris was supposed to be testing with Tom Cruise for has been awarded to Jeremy Renner, and Chris’s screen test has been canceled, according to Deadline Hollywood.

Paramount Pictures has chosen Jeremy Renner to infuse new blood in its Mission: Impossible franchise. Renner, the Oscar-nominated star of The Hurt Locker, will star alongside Tom Cruise in the fourth installment of a franchise that will begin production in the fall. Brad Bird is directing and Cruise is producing with JJ Abrams.

The studio planned to test a group of young actors later this week… but it was clear that Paramount wasn’t sure what it was going to do. Those tests have been canceled.

Sucks. But the fact that the studio had Chris in mind for such a huge role is a great sign, hopefully they will have something else in store for him soon!
