After earning back-to-back Academy Award nominations — in 2010, for his breakout role in Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker and in 2011, for his supporting part in Ben Affleck’s Boston crime drama The Town — Jeremy Renner decided to dive headfirst into the action genre with four consecutive big-budget action projects. The first, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol , which co-stars Renner as a mysteriously overqualified IMF agent assisting Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt on his latest globe-sweeping assignment, premieres this weekend in IMAX. The next three films, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters , The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy , will all hit theaters next year, making the California-raised actor the busiest action star of 2012.
