Tom Cruise's 'Mission: Impossible 8' release date delayed to 2025
October 24, 2023

Tom Cruise's next Mission: Impossible won't be hitting the theatres as per the originally planned release date.  

The makers will now release the film on May 23, 2025, instead of June 28, 2024, according to The Hollywood Reporter.  

Also, the film will most probably not be released under its previously-announced title of Mission: Impossible -- Dead Reckoning Part Two, and a new title is set to be announced at a later date.  

The delay is a result of the production shutdown caused by the ongoing strikes in Hollywood. 

The previous instalment, Dead Reckoning Part 1 was released in July 2023 and garnered great reviews.  

The movie stars Cruise as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, with Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames and Vanessa Kirby among those expected to return. 

The Mission franchise dates back to 1996's original film, based on the 1960s TV show. 

It is known for filming in locales across the globe and for at least one signature Cruise stunt that often becomes the centerpiece of its marketing campaign.  -- ANI
