The cast list for Mission Impossible 8 just got one bigger thanks to the addition of Severance actor Tramell Tillman.

Tillman plays Seth Milchick in Severance , a supervisor for the Lumon corporation. His task is to keep the employees in-line by conspiring with manager Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette).

Tom Cruise must have liked what he saw because Tillman now has an as-yet undisclosed role on the sequel to 2023 blockbuster Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning.

It sees Cruise’s super spy Ethan Hunt continue his fight to stop terrorists obtaining a key to a powerful AI that could turn the world on its head. Given Tillman’s menacing performance, he’ll more than likely play a villain.

Before then, we’ll next see Tillman in Severance season 2, which has recently finished filming. It’s set to air later this year on Apple TV+.

Mission: Impossible 8 will premier in theaters May 23, 2025. Speaking of which, see a bloody Tom Cruise sprint through London as these Mission Impossible 8 set photos leak online.
