Mission impossible ghost protocol who is brandt

However, McQuarrie did toy with the possibility of a cameo, though Renner passed. Speaking with Empire about the film, McQuarrie detailed what he had in mind for Brandt during Ethan's failed mission to obtain the plutonium spheres:. Early in development, McQuarrie wanted to kill someone from Ethan's team in the first moments, but he removed Luther Stickell and Benji Dunn as possibilities.

So when Renner turned it down, the sequence was reconfigured to just be a mission gone wrong where nobody died. While it would have been a shocking twist to start the movie with an IMF death immediately putting the audience on the edge of their seat , Fallout turned out just fine the way it's currently constructed.

Not only did critics hail it as the greatest action movie in recent memory , its strong opening weekend at the box office was the highest in the series' history.

William Brandt : I never saw him again. Until two days ago in Moscow, when the Secretary introduced me to Ethan Hunt. Benji Dunn : I'd be more worried about the heat.

William Brandt : [pauses] And then there's that. What heat? Benji Dunn : Well it's just like any other computer. If you switch the fan off it's gonna get pretty hot in there. William Brandt : Heh. Of course. Benji Dunn : Relatively. William Brandt : So I'm jumping into a Benji Dunn : Yeah, essentially. But, uh, I catch you. William Brandt : Great. Benji Dunn : Ethan? Jesus, I thought you were dead. William Brandt : We are.

Ethan Hunt : European male. About six-foot, pounds. Ethan Hunt : Blue eyes. When Hunt is captured by operatives working for a proposed British project-turned powerful terrorist organization; The Syndicate and later branded a traitor, Brandt warns him to stay undercover and avoid Hunley, but later goes to Hunt's oldest partner Luther Stickell to help him find Hunt and Dunn through a woman Ethan knows and trusts, which is revealed to be Ilsa Faust, a British undercover agent in the field.

William Brandt changed after Julia's "death" during his mission. He blamed himself and left the field to become an analyst. Having hid this from Hunt, he feels guilty for the incident, and has trouble meeting with the former again. During the events of Ghost Protocol, he shows himself to be amazed at Hunt's luck and skills, notably when he used a flare to trick the Russian security forces into believing it was him, asking Hunt how he knew they would shoot at the flare, with Hunt replying he knew they were not thinking.

Additionally, he was pessimistic and cynical on their mission, doubting that Hunt had enough time to get to the manual control room for controlling the security cameras and elevators. Brandt was a "by the book" agent, preferring to stick to the mission and his orders.

When Agent Carter had killed Moreau, he argued with her on following mission procedure. However, Brandt is shown to have a dry sense of humor, cracking jokes and sarcastic comments in and out of missions. Out of all of Ethan Hunt's teammates from throughout he years, Brandt most showed himself to have low self-esteem and wasn't confident on both the mission and himself. After the mission was done, he believed that Hunt wanted nothing to do with him, expressing this by rejecting the new mission from Hunt, however, accepted this after learning that Julia's death was planned and she is alive.

After this, he became happier and loyal to Hunt, especially in the time of Rogue Nation when telling the former to stay undercover when Alan Hunley was looking for him. Brandt is also good with standing up for his team and speaking to senates, notably shown in the committee when talking on the IMF's actions. After working with them, Brandt is more comfortable with his teammates, notably Agents Dunn and Carter, and especially Ethan Hunt. Brandt is skilled in hand-to-hand combat and martial arts, able to take down Moreau's henchman and stand against Marius Wistrom in a fight.

His skills also appear to be equal to Ethan Hunt, being able to disarm him twice.
