The star was announced as an addition to the cast of the fifth sequel in the franchise, which sees returning leading man Tom Cruise reprise his role as Ethan Hunt.
Henry has notably grown a mustache for the role, and it’s not yet certain which character he is playing.

His co-star Tom, however, was seen getting stuck into an action scene, taking tips from one of the stunt men on how to effectively fall backwards.
He then jumped into the action with another actor, portraying a policewoman, who appeared to hold him at gunpoint.
Tom, as Ethan, was seen surrendering or reasoning with the cop, before taking a gun and pointing it himself.

The show’s director Christopher McQuarrie announced it on Instagram.

Henry responded: ‘How can I say no to a man with such perfect hair…..’

The filmmaker replied back: ‘Excellent. Just a few caveats: must enjoy extreme heights, high speeds, motor vehicles of all varieties (especially aircraft), practical stunts, firearms, and sporadic exposition. All good?’
‘@christophermcquarrie only if I get to fly for real,’ Henry quipped back, referring to his other famous role as Superman.
‘@henrycavill I do believe I specified practical stunts. You in?’ came the reply.
To which Henry posted: ‘Oh ok…..I’m in!’
The director ended things with: ‘@henrycavill Outstanding. Welcome aboard. Your social media account will self destruct in 5 seconds.’

Set for a July 27, 2018 release, Tom is also a producer on the project; he has played secret agent Ethan Hunt since 1996.
He still favours performing his own stunts despite the fact that, at 54, he is 21 years older than when he first starred in the original Mission: Impossible movie.
The actor beamed as he raced down a street in Paris on a BMW motorbike on Thursday, filming another sequence, without Henry.

Tom tore down the road in a navy leather jacket, black trousers and blue boots on the set of Mission: Impossible 6.
The actor, who was sported a slightly windswept look, smiled contentedly as he rode his bike during filming.
He was surrounded by production crew, who stood and watched the A-lister perform his own stunts.
In between takes, Tom straddled the powerful vehicle and laughed with the crew as he waited to shoot his scenes.

He laid his gloved hands on the body of the motorbike and chatted away as he waited for filming to begin.
At one point the actor grabbed the handles of the stationary vehicle and bent over the engine in a bid to look as if he were driving at full speed.
Tom had a wicked glint in his eye as he laughed and joked with his colleagues.
When the actor wasn’t sitting on the powerful motorbike, it was propped up with a footstand.
As he prepared to mount the bike again, a preoccupied Tom stood and chatted to a colleague out of shot.

On Wednesday, Tom and Rebecca, 33, were shooting a possible vehicle chase in Paris.
Rebecca, who plays a rogue former MI6 agent, looked raring to go as she strutted the set between takes wearing black biker leathers.
The pretty star clearly caught the eye of Tom, who was poised and ready to shoot his scene from inside a car.

Crew were seen on hand rigging camera equipment to the various vehicles, ready to film the high-paced scene.
They were also spotted adjusting Rebecca’s helmet when she put it back on, making sure it was secure and that she looked camera ready.
