The worlds of “Mission: Impossible” and “Ted Lasso” have unexpectedly collided.
This summer’s “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” has cast Hannah Waddingham, who plays Rebecca Welton on Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso.” Christopher McQuarrie, the writer of “Mission: Impossible 7,” revealed the casting on his Instagram account on Friday.
He captioned the photo of Waddingham with a cryptic tease, writing “#GodSpeed #DeadReckoning.”

Franchise star Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in the seventh, and penultimate, installment of his long-standing, action-packed franchise. The movie is set to hit theaters on July 14, 2023, and a sequel, currently titled “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two,” is already scheduled less than a year later for June 28, 2024.
Waddingham joins the “Mission: Impossible” family, along with Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Simon Pegg as Benjji Dunn and Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust also returning.
“Dead Reckoning Part One” has a few blasts from the past, including Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, a black-market arms dealer who’s the daughter of Max Mitsopolis, played by Vanessa Redgraves in the first “Mission: Impossible” in 1996. Henry Czerny also returns as Eugene Kittridge, the former director of the IMF who’s mysteriously back from the original “Mission: Impossible.” There’s also Hayley Atwell, Shea Wigham, Frederick Schmidt and Esai Morales, who plays the villain.
Pom Klementieff, Rob Delaney, Cary Elwes, Indira Varma, Mark Gatiss, Charles Parnell, Greg Davis, Marcin Dorociński, Lampros Kalfuntzos, Mariela Garriga and Antonio Bustorff are also featured in the cast.
On “Ted Lasso,” Waddingham won an Emmy in 2021 for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series.
