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.[4][5] However, in February 2021, Deadline Hollywood revealed that Paramount had decided to no longer move forward with that plan.[6] In February, Ferguson confirmed her return for the seventh installment,[7][8] while Hayley Atwell and Pom Klementieff joined the film's cast in September.[9][10] In December, Simon Pegg confirmed his return for the film, while Shea Whigham was also cast.[11][12]
Pre-production[]
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.[13][14] Vanessa Kirby also announced she was returning for both films.[15] However, due to scheduling conflicts, Hoult was replaced by Esai Morales for both films.[16]
In February 2021, Deadline Hollywood reported that the film will no longer be filmed back-to-back with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.[17] In November, the director was reportedly in the process of rewriting the film, and filming began shortly after production wrapped on the seventh film.[18] It was reported in February 2022 that the seventh and eighth films will be a send-off to Ethan Hunt.[19]
Filming[]
On March 24, 2022, Collider reported the beginning of filming Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two.[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]
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.[23][24][25]
