Paramount Pictures Announces the Release Dates for Mission: Impossible 7 and 8

Earlier last month, Paramount Pictures announced that director Christopher McQuarrie would be returning for the next two installments in the Mission: Impossible series. This wasn't much of a surprise considering the fact that Mission: Impossible – Fallout was not only a critical success but a commercial one as well, bringing in $790 million dollars at the worldwide box office.

When the announcement was made, Cruise shared on social media that the movies would be coming out in summer 2021 and 2022 likely because they didn't want to go up against Top Gun: Maverick. However, there was some indication that Cruise might have said those release times too early. In a now-deleted tweet to Cruise's announcement McQuarrie just said "…" to the summer 2021 and 2022 statement.

According to Deadline, the release dates for Mission: Impossible 7 and 8 will be July 23, 2021, and August 5, 2022.

Said Jim Gianopulos, Chairman, and CEO of Paramount Pictures, "We couldn't be more excited to build on the massive success of Mission: Impossible—Fallout by reteaming with Chris and Tom on these next two films, following two successful collaborations. … We've also enjoyed a great partnership with Skydance and David Ellison on these three most recent films and look forward to continued success together on this great franchise."

We should expect more of this series for however long Cruise wants to risk his life for the stunts.
