Having kicked off production back in April of last year, director Christopher McQuarrie has now taken to Instagram to announce that principal photography has wrapped on Mission: Impossible – Fallout, the sixth instalment of the blockbuster spy franchise.

As you’ll note from McQuarrie’s comment, Fallout’s production has been quite eventful. Filming was put on hold for several months after Tom Cruise broke his ankle filming a stunt back in August, his co-star Rebecca Ferguson announced her pregnancy, and Henry Cavill and his moustache embarked on reshoots for Justice League, which opened this past November. Hopefully post-production will be plain sailing ahead of the film’s release this summer.

The best intentions often come back to haunt you. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – FALLOUT finds Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the dynamic cast with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie returning to the helm.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout will see Tom Cruise joined by returning stars Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, Alec Baldwin, Sean Harris and Michelle Monaghan, along with new additions Henry Cavill (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice), Sian Brooke (Sherlock), Angela Bassett (American Horror Story) and Vanessa Kirby (The Crown). It is set for release on July 27th, 2018.
