Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 2 release pushed back to 2025
Tom Cruise was in the middle of production on Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 2 when it was forced to shut down due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. The sequel was slated to hit theaters next summer, so it should come as no surprise that Paramount has pushed the release of Dead Reckoning Part 2 to 2025.
Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 2 was originally scheduled for June 28, 2024, but that release has been delayed to May 23, 2025. Paramount also shuffled the dates of several of its other movies around, with A Quiet Place: Day One moving from March 8, 2024 to June 28, 2024. The studio also bumped a new Spongebob Squarepants movie from May 23, 2025 to December 19, 2025.
