However, with Top Gun: Maverick set for release this July, Cruise will soon be needed for the promotional campaign on the sequel to his classic 1986 action film. As such, Paramount is now said to be pushing back filming on Mission: Impossible 8 until later in the summer. If and how this will impact its November 2022 release date remains to be seen.

Featuring in the cast of Mission: Impossible 7 are returning series stars Tom Cruise, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, and Henry Czerny, along with new additions Esai Morales (Titans), Hayley Atwell (Avengers: Endgame), Pom Klementieff (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2), and Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire).
