WGA Writers strike has apparently affected many shows and films and the longer it will go on, the more projects would be impacted.
Many movies that were planned to start filming have delayed their filming and the release dates of many films and the show has been pushed back. According to reports one of the movies halting mid-production is Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two, which may not be entirely accurate.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two is an upcoming American action spy film. The film is written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie and it is the sequel to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One which is the eighth installment in the Mission: Impossible film series.
Mission: Impossible 8th part is currently taking a break in filming, and in a recent interview with the director Christopher McQuarrie also confirmed the news himself and said that production of the film saw challenges due to the current strike and we can assume that the production might have to pause in filming due to the strike.
According to Deadline reports, the current break from the filming of the film was always part of the plan and everybody is currently focused on promoting Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, which is set to release on 28 June 2024.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Wraps Up the Franchise (2026 Update)
Updated July 2026. The strike-era rumors turned out to be unfounded — production continued and the film reached theaters as Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning on May 23, 2025, marketed as Tom Cruise’s last outing as Ethan Hunt. The film set a franchise opening-day record with $24.8 million (including previews) and went on to earn $197.4 million domestically and $598.8 million worldwide. Despite the strong global haul, its massive $300–400 million budget meant the film fell short of the roughly $1 billion needed to be considered a clear financial success, making it one of 2025’s more debated blockbuster outcomes even as it closed out Cruise’s 29-year run in the role.
