NEW YORK—The eighth installment of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise has been postponed a year, signaling a new wave of release schedule juggling for Hollywood studios as the actors strike surpasses three months of work stoppage.
Paramount Pictures on Monday shifted the release date of the next “Mission: Impossible” from June 28, 2024 to May 23, 2025. Production on the follow-up to Christopher McQuarrie’s “Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One” was paused in July while Tom Cruise and company embarked on an international promotion blitz for “Dead Reckoning.” (The sequel had been titled “Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part Two” but is now simply listed currently as “Mission: Impossible.”)
