Tom Cruise will be teaming up with Jack Reacher director Christopher McQuarrie once again. This time, the action star is bringing the director along into his most successful franchise, the Mission: Impossible films. McQuarrie’s name had been floating around the project for a while now, but he’s officially joined a club of directors that includes Brian De Palma, John Woo, J.J. Abrams and Brad Bird.

“I am thrilled to reunite with Chris for the latest installment in the Mission series,” Cruise said via statement. “I began producing the films with the goal that a different director with his own vision would make each one. Chris is an extraordinary filmmaker who will deliver the heart-pounding action and thrills that audiences around the world have come to expect from the Mission: Impossible franchise.”

The film, which is being produced by Bad Robot, also features a script written by Drew Pearce (Iron Man 3).  The fifth film is expected to see Ghost Protocol actors Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames and Paula Patton return along with Cruise, though nothing has been announced officially. The film is expected to hit screen in 2015.
