Per Deadline, Oyoung has been tapped to play an undisclosed character in the forthcoming Mission: Impossible movie.

Oyoung is starring alongside Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos in Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters, which releases in United States theaters on July 19. He also voices Martin Li/Mister Negative in the 2018 Spider-Man video game and the 2023 sequel, Spider-Man 2.

Christopher McQuarrie returns as director and co-write for Mission: Impossible 8. Along with Dead Reckoning Part One, McQuarrie also helmed the fifth and sixth films in the franchise, 2015’s Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation and 2018’s Mission: Impossible — Fallout.

In addition to Cruise, the next Mission: Impossible stars Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell, Henry Czerny as Eugene Kittridge, Simon Pegg as Benji Dunn, Vanessa Kirby as Alanna Mitsopolis, Hayley Atwell as Grace, Esai Morales as Gabriel, Pom Klementieff as Paris, Shea Whigham as Jasper Briggs, Greg Tarzan Davis as Degas, Mariela Garriga as Marie, Rolf Saxon as William Donloe, Holt McCallany as Bernstein, Nick Offerman as Sydney, and Frederick Schmidt as Zola Mitsopolis.

Additionally, Janet McTeer, Hannah Waddingham, Lucy Tulugarjuk, Katy O’Brian, and Tramell Tillman are playing undisclosed roles in the film.

While production was delayed because of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA Strike, Mission: Impossible 8 is scheduled to hit United States theaters on May 23, 2025.
