Another year will pass for us to see the new “Mission Impossible 7” movie since it delays its release date until 2023, which will be when we will see the seventh installment on theater screens.

This delay represents the fourth time that a film starring Tom Cruise has delayed its release.

Paramount Pictures and Skydance announced on Friday that the premiere of “Mission Impossible 7” will be pushed back from September 20 to July 14, 2023. Its sequel, “Mission: Impossible 8,” meanwhile, which was previously scheduled for July 2023, will now premiere on June 28, 2024.

This has been one of the biggest setbacks that production has manifested, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The filming of “Mission: Impossible 7” was suspended in early 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, shortly after, filming resumed in the summer (boreal) of 2020; and, in September 2021, filming concluded.

Paramount and Skydance attributed the postponements to delays related to the pandemic.

After careful consideration, Paramount Pictures and Skydance have decided to postpone the release dates for ‘Mission: Impossible 7 and 8’ in response to delays due to the ongoing pandemic,” the companies said in a joint statement.
