Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 8 has been delayed in the midst of the pandemic. This news comes in light of the actor’s aggressive rant over following COVID safety guidelines and protocols.
Mission: Impossible franchise is facing another delay! But fortunately, this delay will not affect the release of MI7. While the original plan was to shoot MI8 right after MI7, but now filming will have to be delayed due to the pandemic. Tom Cruise is almost done filming the upcoming Mission: Impossible 7 and it will be released on November 19, 2021 as slated.
Tom‘s movie Top Gun: Maverick was supposed to be released last summer, but now it is scheduled to hit theatres on July 2, 2021. Assuming that the date doesn’t move, Tom will likely be on a press tour for several weeks and won’t be able to film MI8. It’s not clear yet when production will begin for that movie. Deadline recently reported that there have been no “pandemic-related travel issues” for filming, as has been reported in some tabloids. The production team just wrapped a shoot in the Middle East and they’re travelling back to London for the final shots.
If you missed it, back in December 2020, the 58-year-old went on a profanity-ridden rant against the crew of Mission: Impossible 7 after employees broke the COVID-19 rules that are in place to keep everyone safe. An audiotape was leaked to The Sun in which Tom‘s rant can be heard. “If I see you do it again, you’re f–king gone. And if anyone in this crew does it, that’s it — and you too and you too. And you, don’t you ever f–king do it again,” he said. The Sun reported that Tom “flew into a rage” after he saw two crew members standing less than three feet from each other at a computer screen. “They’re back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us. We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf–kers,” Tom said in the rant.
