American actor Jeremy Renner recently revealed that his decision to exit the Mission: Impossible franchise in the past was due to his young daughter, as he did not want to be away from home for a long time. However, the 53-year-old also expressed that he would love to reprise his role as special agent William Brandt. The star told Collider in an interview published May 27, 2024:
"I had to leave that. I was supposed to do more with them. I love those guys. I love Tom so much. We had so much fun, and I love that character a lot. It requires a lot of time away. It’s all in London. I had to go be a dad. It just wasn't gonna work out then."

Jeremy Renner has recently made his comeback to the entertainment industry after his near-fatal snowplow accident on January 1, 2023. The Paramount+ series titled Mayor of Kingstown has marked his first time on set after the incident.
The series's creator, Hugh Dillon, told People magazine on May 24, 2024, about the actor doing his own stunts.
"From where Jeremy was, to where we are now, and watching what he does — it's a joy to be part of that. [Seeing] Jeremy Renner do his own stunts? You should watch it for that alone," Hugh Dillon stated.
However, Renner admitted that the stunt work "was pretty violent" and it was "surprising" that he was "even able to attempt it" seeing as he had multiple injuries from last year's accident.
"I wasn't sure I was gonna be capable of it, but in the first episode, we were surprised. No injuries," Renner added.
Due to the deadly snowplow accident, Hawkeye actor was badly bruised. He had over 30 broken bones and a severely injured eye.
Jeremy Renner-starrer Mayor of Kingstown season 3 will come out on June 2, 2024, on Paramount+.
