Mission Impossible 8 Release Date: When Is It Coming?
The 7th and 8th installments of the Mission Impossible franchise were jointly announced by Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie on January 15, 2019.
Despite facing several delays during filming, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two is currently slated for release on June 28, 2024.
This date will be less than a year after the release of Dead Reckoning Part One, giving audiences plenty of time to catch up before the grand finale.
Remarkably, this release will also mark 28 years since the original Mission: Impossible film, cementing the franchise’s status as one of the longest-running action franchises in history.
However, filming for Dead Reckoning Part Two was only 40% complete, as confirmed by McQuarrie. The production break was initially attributed to the WGA strike, but later reports clarified that it was to accommodate promotional duties for Mission: Impossible – Death Count Part One.
After the promotional tour is over, filming for Dead Reckoning Part Two will resume in the summer. If all goes well, the film stays on course for its anticipated summer 2024 release.
After experiencing Covid-related delays during the production of the first half, it was expected that the second half would run more smoothly.
Main Cast Members In Mission Impossible 8
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two’s core cast remains largely unchanged from its predecessor, with Tom Cruise reprising his role as Ethan Hunt, international super spy.
Simon Pegg and Ving Rhames also return as trusted allies of Hunt, Benji and Luther. Vanessa Kirby reprises her role as the White Widow, while Esai Morales returns as the evil Gabriel.
Despite being injured in Part One, Pom Klementieff’s killer character, Paris, will return.
However, Rebecca Ferguson’s character Ilsa Faust is unlikely to return after her death in Part One. New cast additions include Holt McCallany as the Secretary of Defence, Nick Offerman as Sydney, and Hannah Waddingham in an undisclosed role.
Additionally, Rolf Saxon returns as CIA analyst William Donloe from the original 1996 film, reprising his character after a long absence. The returning Kittridge character, played by Henry Czerny, will even be featured in Part Two.
What to Expect From Mission Impossible 8?
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One concludes with an exciting sequence on the Orient Express, in which Ethan Hunt manages to retrieve The Entity’s room key, a highly sought after destination.
However, the room is located within the wreckage of a Russian submarine named Sevastopol.
While Ethan’s mission is to destroy rogue AI, many countries are vying to grab and potentially weaponize it. As a result, the whole planet is after Ethan and his IMF team, including newcomer Grace (Hayley Atwell), to get the key and stop the mission.
The whereabouts of the sunken Sevastopol remain unknown to Hunt and his team, making its discovery a vital part of Dead Reckoning Part Two’s narrative.
The sequels also need to address remaining mysteries, such as the identity of Marie (Mariela Garriga) and her relationship with Ethan.
In a flashback 30 years earlier, Gabriel killed Marie before Ethan’s eyes, an event that motivated Ethan to join the IMF.
Additionally, unanswered questions revolve around the disappearance of Luther (Ving Rhames) and the hard drive containing some of the evil AI, in addition to the motivations behind Jasper Briggs’ (Shea Whigham) pursuit of Hunt.
Additionally, the indisputable fact that Jasper shares the same last name as Dan Briggs, the original founder, and leader of the IMF team on the Mission: Impossible TV series, could be a vital clue in Mission Impossible 8.
