Henry Cavill announces Mission Impossible role on Instagram

Cape Town – Henry Cavill has officially joined the cast of Mission: Impossible 6.

The announcement was made in possibly the coolest way ever. 

Alongside a picture of himself, director Christopher McQuarrie asked the superman star if he would be interested in a role in the upcoming sequel.

He wrote, "Say, @henrycavill. Had a thought. Curious if you're interested in a role in the 6th installment of Mission: Impossible. No pressure.”

To which the actor respond in the comments, "how can I say not to a man with such perfect hair."

Cavill posted this picture of him, hanging on a pole in McQuarrie's picture.

I like a good challenge. Like hanging from a moving plane...or balancing from a cliff by my fingertips...or scaling a skyscraper. I guess I’ll just have to get my practice in and join the fun for the next Mission Impossible. Thanks for the invite, @ChristopherMcQuarrie. #MissionImpossible #MI6
