Jeremy Renner left the Mission: Impossible franchise so he could spend more time at home with his young daughter. Renner played William Brandt, who hasn't been seen in the franchise since 2015's Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation. Renner is open to reprising his role in a future film.

Jeremy Renner addresses his Mission: Impossible franchise exit and comments on a potential return as Brandt. Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt is the centerpiece of the hit action franchise, but various supporting characters always assist him on his missions. Renner joined the franchise as William Brandt in Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol in 2011 and he briefly reprised his role for Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation in 2015, but the character hasn't been seen in the franchise since.

In a recent interview with Collider, Renner explains that he left the Mission: Impossible franchise due to his young daughter and his desire to not be away from home so much.
