Last summer, the Mission: Impossible franchise resumed with the release of Dead Reckoning Part One, which hit theaters five years after its predecessor, Fallout. The ending of Dead Reckoning Part One laid the groundwork for the upcoming bankruptcy of Ethan Hunt’s saga, and as of today, Dead Reckoning Part Two is firmly anchored in the 2024 movie calendar. However, it has been revealed that Mission: Impossible 8 has not only been delayed once again, but we can’t call it Dead Reckoning Part Two either.
Paramount Pictures has announced that it got rid of Mission: Impossible 8 from the June 28, 2024 date and moved it to May 23, 2025. While this doesn’t constitute a full year-long delay, it still means the public will have to wait. The next blockbuster of the summer season to see it, with nearly two full years passing between the first component and the next episode. Also, according to THR, the eighth installment of this action franchise will no longer be called Dead Reckoning Part. Two, and a new name will be announced at a later date.
While it has not been revealed why Mission: Impossible 8 will no longer be called Dead Reckoning Part Two, the explanation for why the delay is due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, which began on July 14, two days after of the long-term wide release of Dead Reckoning Part One. Mission: Impossible 8 had already halted production so Cruise and his cast could simply promote Dead Reckoning, but the strike means they still haven’t been able to resume work on the next movie. It’s unclear when cameras will start rolling again, Paramount is playing it safe by pushing the next film back to 2025.
Despite the longer wait, THR discussed in their article that Mission: Impossible 8 will still play on IMAX screens for a full 3 weeks, unlike Dead Reckoning, which had a shorter IMAX run after having to depart for Oppenheimer. Due to this delay, Paramount moved A Quiet Place: Day One from March 8, 2024, to the former Dead Reckoning space on June 28. In addition, an untitled SpongeBob SquarePants movie was moved from May 23, 2025, to December 19, 2025, while conversely, John Krasinski’s IF movie will now be released on May 17, 2024, a week ahead of schedule.
As with each and every Mission: Impossible movie since 2015’s Rogue Nation, Christopher McQuarrie is in charge of writing and directing Mission: Impossible 8. Along with familiar faces such as Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell and Esai Morales, All Back, Mission: Impossible. The cast of 8 includes newcomers like Holt McCallany, Nick Offerman, and Hannah Waddingham, as well as the return of Rolf Saxon as William Donloe, the down-on-his-luck analyst from the first film.
We’ll share more concrete updates on what’s to come for Mission: Impossible 8 as they arrive, adding what their new name will be at the end. Don’t forget that the first six videos of Mission: Impossible can be streamed with a Paramount. subscription, and Dead Reckoning will most likely end up on the platform in the near future.
