Superman Henry Cavill is set to join the "'Mission Impossible 6" in an odd job interview. He was offered the job and an interview through Instagram.

Director Christopher McQuarrie started with a photo of himself on Friday, March 17 with a caption directed to Cavill as reported by Daily Mail. Director McQuarry asked the British actor whether he was interested to take part in "Mission Impossible 6."

 Say, @henrycavill. Had a thought. Curious if you're interested in a role in the 6th installment of Mission: Impossible. No pressure.

Cavill responded with a positive tone, and the 48-year old director explained, "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?'

The actor then replied that he would join in the project. Subsequently, the odd job interview ended and Cavill landeda new role for him in "'Mission Impossible 6."

The "Man of Steel" actor will join Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson and Jeremy Renner in the latest installment of "Mission Impossible." According to Deadline, McQuarrie also produces the movie with Cruise, Don Granger, J.J. Abrams and Skydance Production for the Paramount Pictures. The movie is scheduled to release in July 2018.

With his new role in "'Mission Impossible 6," Cavill will have a busy year in 2017. He will reprise his role in DC Comics and Warner Brothers collaboration for "Justice League" and "Man of Steel 2." Other projects include Netflix's original movie "Sand Castle" and thriller "Nomis," written and directed by David Raymond.

McQuarry will take the helm of the director for "Mission Impossible" franchise for the second time, after the 2015 "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation." He is an acclaimed writer, director and producer who has been working with many successful movies, including "X-Men" and "Wolverine."
