The “Mission: Impossible” franchise has been a staple of the action movie genre for over two decades. Since the first film was released in 1996, audiences have been thrilled by the daring stunts, high-tech gadgets, and charismatic performance of its lead actor, Tom Cruise. With six films already under its belt, fans are eager to know if there is a new “Mission: Impossible” mission in the works.
The good news is that a new “Mission: Impossible” movie is indeed in the works. The seventh film in the series, tentatively titled “Mission: Impossible 7,” is currently in production and is expected to be released in May 2022. The film is directed by Christopher McQuarrie, who also directed the previous two installments, “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation” and “Mission: Impossible – Fallout.”
Tom Cruise returns in his iconic role as Ethan Hunt, the top-secret agent for the Impossible Mission Force (IMF). Alongside Cruise, the film also stars Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, and Vanessa Kirby, with newcomers to the franchise including Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff.
As with previous “Mission: Impossible” films, “Mission: Impossible 7” promises to deliver high-octane action sequences, heart-stopping stunts, and plenty of suspenseful moments. The film’s official synopsis reads, “Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong.”
One of the reasons the “Mission: Impossible” franchise has remained so popular is its ability to reinvent itself with each new film. While the basic premise remains the same – a team of highly skilled agents working to stop a global threat – each film has its own unique flavor and style. The series has been praised for its creative action set-pieces and its commitment to practical effects, with Cruise performing many of his own stunts.
The new film is being shot on location around the world, including Italy, Norway, and the United Kingdom. One particular stunt, which reportedly involved Cruise riding a motorcycle off a cliff and deploying a parachute mid-air, has already generated a lot of buzz online.
While “Mission: Impossible 7” is still in production, it has already been announced that an eighth film is also in the works, with McQuarrie returning to direct. That film is expected to be released in 2023.
In conclusion, fans of the “Mission: Impossible” franchise can rest easy knowing that a new mission is indeed on the horizon. With its all-star cast, thrilling action, and commitment to practical effects, “Mission: Impossible 7” is sure to be a hit with audiences when it is released in May 2022.
