Poll question: Keri Russell co-stars with Cruise in M.I. III. Lohan wanted the part.

Keri Russell has accepted her Mission.

The former Felicity star is reuniting with director J.J. Abrams to star opposite Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 3.

Russell will portray a junior agent mentored by Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt.

The role was originally intended to be played by Scarlett Johansson, but the Lost in Translation star pulled out of the film last month due to scheduling delays. Lindsay Lohan had also expressed interest in the part, but Russell, 29, ultimately won out.

1. Keri's more appropriate for

the part..she looks really cute in that pic, too.

2. I hate that Thandie Newton turned it down.

They had planned on keeping her (and the relationship) for MI3, but she didn't want to do it for whatever reason and I think Carrie Ann Moss (aka, REALLY BORING LaraFlynnlookalike) is going to be his love interest.

I kind of don't care anymore, LOL. :(

3. Thandie Newton is indeed very cool...

...and I'm sure she'll go on to many bigger and better things.
