Production

Development

On January 14, 2019, Cruise initially announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with McQuarrie writing and directing both films for July 23, 2021, and August 5, 2022 releases.[6][7] However, in February 2021, Deadline Hollywood revealed that Paramount had decided to no longer move forward with that plan.[8] It was reported that both films would be a "send-off" to the Ethan Hunt character.[9][10]

Casting

In February 2019, Ferguson confirmed her return for the seventh installment,[11][12] while Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff joined the film's cast in September.[13][14] In December, Simon Pegg confirmed his return for the film, while Shea Whigham was also cast.[15][16] Nicholas Hoult joined the cast by January 2020, along with Henry Czerny, who will reprise his role as Eugene Kittridge for the first time since the 1996 film.[17][18] Vanessa Kirby also announced she was returning for both films.[19] However, due to scheduling conflicts, Hoult was replaced by Esai Morales for both films.[20] In July 2022, it was reported that Holt McCallany had joined the cast.[21] In August, it was revealed Nick Offerman and Janet McTeer were also added to the cast.[22] In March 2023, McQuarrie announced Hannah Waddingham, Lucy Tulugarjuk and Rolf Saxon's addition to the cast - the latter of whom reprising his role from the first film.[23][24]

Filming

In February 2021, Deadline Hollywood reported that the film will no longer be filmed back-to-back with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.[25] By November, McQuarrie was in the process of rewriting the film.[26] On March 24, 2022, Collider reported the beginning of principal photography of Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two.[27] Filming took place in the UK at Longcross Studios and the Lake District. Other locations included Malta, South Africa and Norway. In December 2022, it was reported filming was finished in the UK.[28] The crew, then, moved to Puglia to continue filming aboard the USS George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier.[29]

Post-production

Industrial Light & Magic return to do the visual effects from the 7th film along with Clear Angle Studios and Halon Entertainment being the additional vendors for lidar & cyberscanning and previsualization.[30][31][32]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released on June 28, 2024.[33] It was previously set for release on August 5, 2022,[34] but was delayed to November 4, 2022,[35] July 7, 2023,[36] and then to the current date due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
