The Shaun of the Dead actor will play an ally of Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt. Also featuring in the third instalment in the franchise are Laurence Fishburne, Billy Crudup, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Kerry Russell and Ving Rhames.
Abrams is quoting as saying: "I've been dying to work with Simon since I saw Shaun of the Dead. His comedic skill is remarkable; he's able to be hysterically funny while always seeming 100% real, even when he's killing zombies with vinyl records."
