COVID is constantly disrupted
As a result of the pandemic, Cruise’s film, in which he plays globe-trotting secret agent Ethan Hunt, has faced difficulties and suffered several delays.
Filming for the seventh film began in Venice, Italy, in February 2020, but was halted due to the spread of Coronavirus.
After it was moved to the UK, production was stopped twice because of the pandemic, most recently in June 2021 after the cast and crew tested positive for COVID-19.
The latest installment in the $3.5bn (£2.6bn) franchise was originally set for release in 2022 but has been pushed back to September 2023 amid a spike in Coronavirus cases in the US due to the Delta variant.
