Why? It turns out that scheduling is to blame. This weekend, Mission: Impossible 5 director Christopher McQuarrie took to his Twitter account for a quick Q&A session with fans, and it was during this time that he addressed the reason Paula Patton is not returning to her part as Jane Carter.
Renner's absence in Mission: Impossible -- Fallout was due to scheduling conflicts with the MCU, not the filmmakers' lack of desire to bring him back. With Tom Cruise potentially exiting the franchise after one more film, Jeremy Renner could be the new lead for future Mission: Impossible movies.
Jane Carter's actress Paula Patton did not appear in Rogue Nation because (as stated by director Christopher McQuarrie) she was unavailable alongside Maggie Q.
Nyah had a huge role in Mission: Impossible II, sacrificing herself but ultimately saved by Ethan Hunt. Thandiwe Newton did not return for Mission: Impossible III due to personal reasons and challenging experiences on set.
The actress confirmed during an interview with Yahoo that the franchise wanted her back, but she was unable to participate due to her schedule. At the time that Mission: Impossible 4 was being made, Maggie Q was busy starring in the hit CW action thriller Nikita.
Tom's moral questioning of his job caused a massive crisis of confidence. He jeopardised an important mission and Harry was forced to de-commission Tom from MI5. His career is now over and he is no longer a Spook.
In Britain, Sosnovska was known for playing Fiona Carter in series 3–4 of the popular series Spooks, which she left mid-series owing to her first pregnancy in 2005. She is married to the actor Sendhil Ramamurthy, who is known for his work on the series Heroes. The couple have one daughter and one son.
And as is often the case in such matters, money was the deciding factor. In an interview with MovieWeb in 2010 (roughly two months after Ghost Protocol had begun filming), Rhames explained why he wouldn't be returning: “I will just say that the budget changed dramatically and I'll leave it at that.”
Last month, Renner suffered blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries in a snowcat accident in Reno, Nevada after attempting to help his nephew with a car issue, according to an incident report filed by the Washoe County Sheriff's Office.
Graves refused to reprise the role of Jim Phelps (played by Jon Voight) in the first 1996 theatrical film of Mission: Impossible, after the character was revealed to be a traitor and the villain of the film.
Jane Carter's actress Paula Patton did not appear in Rogue Nation because director Christopher McQuarrie stated she was unavailable alongside Maggie Q.
She proved to be a valuable member of the operation and had extra motivation to take down the movie's villain after they killed her lover. Despite the positive response to Jane Carter's role in Mission: Impossible 4, she did not return in the sequel.
Whether or not he's been executed by MI6 after being arrested is unknown. This may be an indicator that Harris ultimately changed his mind or was somehow convinced to return. Lane has also been confirmed (so far) to not be returning for the last movie Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part Two.
Executive producer Jane Featherstone decided to end the series during its writing stage, stating "It's very tempting to keep going, and we have had ongoing conversations with our partners at the BBC about it, but the heart of the show has become those two characters [Harry and Ruth] and I feel they own it.
Although devastated, Ruth returns to the grid full-time in Episode 8.3, quickly slotting back into her old role while remaining ambivalent about the cost of involvement. At the end of that episode she is left distraught after friend and colleague Jo Portman is killed in a hostage situation.
He wanted to leave the series as he felt the character had run its course, as well as wanting to explore other venues. He also stated that working in Spooks was "great," but felt he was "getting to the point where I needed to move on."
Why did Matthew Macfadyen leave the Spooks series?
Halfway through filming series two, Macfadyen got to carry a gun for the first time in the series; he was disappointed in not carrying one in the first series. Though Macfadyen enjoyed working in the series, he began to feel "very sluggish and fed up" with playing the same character for two years.
When she is found guilty, Zoe is sentenced to 10 years in prison and is forced to abscond to Chile, without Will, to avoid being jailed. This leads to a very emotional goodbye between her and Danny. Later on, Danny, seeing how Will is suffering, reveals Zoe's fate, and Will leaves to rejoin her in Chile.
Nyah Nordoff-Hall was portrayed by British actress Thandie Newton in Mission: Impossible II. Newton stated that she would not be returning for the sequal Mission: Impossible III in order to focus on her family.
