Brent Lang Executive Editor of Film and Media“Mission: Impossible” fans will have to wait a little longer to watch Ethan Hawke save the world from imminent destruction. Paramount Pictures will delay the release of the next two films in the long-running spy series. “Mission: Impossible 7,” which was previously supposed to premiere on Sept.
30, 2022, will now debut on July 14, 2023. That means that “Mission: Impossible 8,” most recently intended to open on July 7, 2023, will instead shift to June 28, 2024. The seventh film, which is co-produced by Skydance, was originally slated to open on July 23, 2021 and has been postponed multiple times as the public health situation has changed.
The movie’s globe-trotting production has also been delayed due to COVID-19. “Mission: Impossible” films tend to be complicated to shoot as they have many complicated stunts and effects, with the filmmaking team trying to do as little green screen work as possible. They also often jet from one foreign port of call to another (the latest films shot in Italy, the U.K.
and Poland, to name just a few locations), a bit of international hopscotch that was complicated by a pandemic that knows no borders. “After thoughtful consideration, Paramount Pictures and Skydance have decided to postpone the release dates for Mission: Impossible 7 & 8 in response to delays due to the ongoing pandemic. The new release dates will be July 14, 2023, and June 28, 2024, respectively,” the companies said in a joint statement.
