Pom Klementieff joins Tom Cruise in both Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 in a new 'femme fatale' role
Pom Klementieff has accepted a new mission, a role in both Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 alongside Tom Cruise.
Klementieff, 33, was announced by director Christopher McQuarrie on Twitter and Instagram on Tuesday, tagging the actress and asking, 'How do you spell femme fatale in French?' plus the hashtag #MI78, indicating she's in both movies.
It was announced in January that McQuarrie, who directed both 2015's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation and 2018's Mission: Impossible - Fallout, is returning to direct both the seventh and eighth films in the iconic franchise.

Paramount has set a July 23, 2021 release date for M:I 7, while M:I 8 will be released on August 5, 2022.
McQuarrie's last M:I movie, Fallout, was the highest-grossing in the franchise, taking in $220 million domestically and $791 million worldwide from a $178 million budget.
Fallout is also the film where star Tom Cruise broke his ankle after performing one of his more routine stunts, which sideline the production.
