The newest casting addition announced is the 30-year-old actress, Rebecca Ferguson.

Ferguson will also star alongside Dwayne Johnson in the upcoming action movie Hercules.

Rebecca will be joining Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner in the new installment of the action packed series. Mission: Impossible 5 will be directed by Christopher McQuarrie the writer is Drew Pearce. The director previously worked with Tom on the film Jack Reacher. Cruise will be back to reprise the role of Ethan Hunt as well as produce. Jeremy Renner will return as William Brandt. 

The Christmas Day 2015 release will have strong competition at the box office, with Star Wars: Episode VII and Warcraft having opened a week earlier; in addition, Kung Fu Panda 3 opens two days before MI5, while Ben Affleck's Live By Night also opens on Christmas Day. 

The last Mission: Impossible film, Ghost Protocol, was Tom Cruise's largest-grossing film of his career. He also riding high off his movie Edge Of Tomorrow, which has done $400 million worldwide.
