Because of the Hollywood strike Paramount Pictures has now pushed out the premiere of Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible 8 by a year from 2024 to autumn 2025 with the film which will also get a new name.
Instead of June 2024, cinemagoers will have to wait a year longer for Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 2, which will also undergo a name change.
Paramount announced the Mission: Impossible 8 date shift as part of a raft of cinema release date changes in its latest release schedule update to the industry.
Paramount Pictures and Skydance blame the ongoing and protracted SAG-AFTRA strike by Hollywood actors demanding a better ideal from the various Hollywood studios including Netflix, with Million: Impossible which had to shut down production similar to many other films and TV series.
Filming for the second part of Dead Reckoning took place worldwide in places like Norway and the United Kingdom and including South Africa, with Tom Cruise who jumped out of an aircraft in the South African skies.
