Josh Holloway could be in Dubai with MI4

The only question, really, is whether he’ll take his shirt off on the emirate’s shiny beaches.

Josh Holloway, we mean, who has just been signed to the “Mission: Impossible” team for his first studio picture, the Hollywood Reporter tell us.

The “Lost” heartthrob will play a member of the Impossible Mission Force, the secret agent task force that is headed by Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt.

The Dubai Government Media Office announced on Tuesday that the next instalment of the Hollywood franchise, being directed by Brad Bird, would be filmed over the better part of a month in Dubai.

Locations in Prague and Vancouver are also possibilities and the cast also features Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Vladimir Mashkov, all also newcomers to the franchise, in addition to Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg.

Holloway spent six seasons on “Lost” as conman James “Sawyer” Ford.
