MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 8: Dead Reckoning Part 2 (2024) With Tom Cruise & Hayley Atwell
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two is an upcoming American spy action film directed by Christopher McQuarrie from a screenplay he co-wrote with Erik Jendresen. It is the sequel to Dead Reckoning: Part One (2023), and the eighth installment in the Mission: Impossible film series. Tom Cruise returns in his eighth appearance as the series’ lead character, Ethan Hunt, whom he will have portrayed over a period of 28 years at the time of the film’s release.
Ving Rhames, Henry Czerny, Simon Pegg, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales, Hayley Atwell, Shea Whigham, and Pom Klementieff all reprise their roles from previous films in the series. In January 2019, Cruise announced that the seventh and eighth Mission: Impossible films would be shot back-to-back with McQuarrie writing and directing both films. Plans for the film later changed in February 2021.
Returning and new cast members were announced soon after, and Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for two films, returned to score the film. Filming began in March 2022 in the United Kingdom with other filming locations, including Malta, South Africa and Norway. It was halted in July 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 28, 2024, by Paramount Pictures.
