In my last post, I talked about “Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation”. In this post I want to mention two other men from that movie, whom I regard as the luckiest men in cinema.

As well as being in the M:I series, Jeremy Renner is also in Marvel movies (the two Avengers movies to date and the upcoming Captain America movie) and he even starred in a Bourne movie (which, strangely, I haven’t seen yet!)

Even luckier is Simon Pegg. I have liked Pegg for a long time. I have “Spaced” on DVD and I enjoyed movies like “Run Fatboy Run”. As well as M:I, Pegg is involved in Star Trek and now Star Wars!! So Simon Pegg is the man who has united the (supposedly conflicting) worlds of Star Trek and Star Wars!

There’s a promo video out now which has him saying: “My whole life has lead to this. I’m in heaven” and “It’s Star Wars. I’d burn for Star Wars”.

Luckiest man in the world: I think so. Here’s a picture of him on the set of Star Wars:
