We met him in Mission: Impossible III in 2006. Since then, Benji Dunn, played by the legendary Simon Pegg, has continued to assist Ethan Hunt in his dangerous missions, like the loyal sidekick that he is, and that’s six, no less. We count films, the future.
The actor has also completed shooting all his scenes for the yet-to-be-titled eighth and final installment of the saga. Indeed, Mission: Impossible 8 was originally intended to be the sequel to Dead Reckoning, with Christopher McQuarrie writing and directing both films for release in July 2021 and August 2022. The film eventually gained independence, making it the last of the franchise. And a real “farewell” to the character of Ethan Hunt and his partners.
“I finished the last day on Mission Impossible and said goodbye to everyone“, he said Simon Pegg in his video message. “What an adventure it was and what an incredible spectacle this next film will be. I am so excited to see you. Before that, Benjy Dunn comes out.“
