According to Empire (via /Movie), The Mission: Impossible 8 Production was temporarily halted due to the ongoing WGA writers’ strike. This delay follows director Christopher McQuarrie’s confirmation that he has completed post-production work on ‘Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One’ in time for its much-anticipated debut this July. It remains unclear if this recent setback in filming would also impact Dead Reckoning Part Two’s planned theatrical release in 2024.
