Tom Cruise starrer Mission: Impossible 8 delayed to 2025
In a surprising turn of events, Paramount Pictures has announced a delay to the highly anticipated eighth installment in the Mission: Impossible franchise. The film, originally scheduled to release on June 28, 2024, has been pushed to May 23, 2025, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the next exciting adventure of IMF agent Ethan Hunt, played by Tom Cruise.
Why was Mission Impossible 8 postponed?
The decision to postpone filming was made due to a series of unfortunate events, including shutting down production to allow Cruise and the cast to promote the first part of the series, Dead Reckoning, Part 1. Following promotional activities, the production faced a setback in the form of the SAG-AFTRA strike, preventing the cast from returning to work on the film.
