Mission: Impossible 7 cast includes Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Angela Bassett, and Frederick Schmidt, reprising their characters from the previous movies. The movie is nearing its wrap on production. It started shooting in January 2019 with a plan to shoot M:I 7 and 8 simultaneously. The filming was halted due to coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak. It resumed in July 2020, in Surrey, England, following all safety protocols. The production halted again in October 2020 when several members were tested positive for the virus.
In December 2020, an audio recording of Tom Cruise went viral on the internet. The actor was heard shouting at a member who reportedly breached the safety protocols. Later in February 2021, the film was almost completed with only finishing touches left. Paramount Pictures also announced that it would not be filmed directly back-to-back with the eighth movie. M:I 8 will be filmed in 2022 in order to give the cast and crew a break from the rigorous workload.
Mission: Impossible 7 is scheduled to release on November 19, 2021. Following its theatrical premiere, the film will be streaming on Paramount+ on January 3, 2022. The project is produced by Tom Cruise, Christopher McQuarrie, David Ellison, and Jake Myers.
