Tom Cruise's 'Mission Impossible 7' And 8' Release Date Delayed Again

Los Angeles, January 22 - Tom Cruise's keenly-awaited "Mission Impossible 7" has been delayed again as the covid-19 pandemic is still taking a toll on the theatrical releases.

Paramount Pictures and Skydance Media's spy actioner tentpole will now debut in theaters on July 14, 2023, after getting pushed from September 30, 2022, release date. This is the 6th time "MI7" has been delayed.



It was originally announced for July 2020 before pushing it to December 2020. That date obviously didn't hold as the movie was further pushed to November 19, 2021, and then to May 27, 2022. Meanwhile, the studios have also pushed the release of "MI7's" follow-up movie "MI8" to June 28, 2024, from July 7, 2023.

"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. We look forward to providing moviegoers with an unparalleled theatrical experience", Paramount and Skydance said in a statement (via THR).

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, "Mission Impossible 7" is going to be a very very special film as Tom Cruise has performed some death-defying stunts for the film. McQuarrie in a video had said at CinemaCon, "The only thing that scares me more is what we have planned for Mission 8".

Meanwhile, the fans of Tom Cruise will get to see their favorite hero on the big screen this year as his "Top Gun: Maverick" is slated for May 27, 2022, release. It is also produced by Cruise, Paramount, and Skydance and is expected to release as scheduled. It is the sequel to 1986's "Top Gun", which also starred Cruise in the lead.
