| “ | A new day brings a new burden. The key is only the beginning. Wherever it leads, whatever it takes to get there, you'll have to do it on your own. Should you fail in your mission, the Entity wins, Gabriel wins, and the world will pay the ultimate price. Should any members of your team be caught or killed, their sacrifice will have been in vain. So hurry. There isn't much time. The world doesn't know it, but they're counting on you. Good luck, Ethan. | ” |

Production[]
Announced in 2019, and titled as Dead Reckoning Part Two, the film was supposed to be shot back-to-back with Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. In September 2019, director Christopher McQuarrie confirmed on social media that Hayley Atwell will join the cast. Paramount decided not to move forward with shooting back-to-back, and production on Part Two began in March 2022, just 14 months before Part One would release. After several delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the film was given a release date of June 28, 2024.
In 2023, the Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and radio Artists (WGA and SAG-AFTRA) commenced strikes. The strikes impacted major productions on both TV shows and movies, forcing some to shift to later dates and some to shut down production completely. It was initially rumored that filming for Part Two was suspended due to the WGA strike, but this turned out to be false as McQuarrie was waiting for the promotions to finish on Part One. Unfortunately, filming was suspended in July 2023 due to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Despite this, McQuarrie has revealed that "We’ve shot all but one of our international locations", and that much of the film has been finished.
In late 2023, 3 months after Part One released, McQuarrie announced that the film would no longer be titled as Dead Reckoning Part Two, but did not reveal the new title. It was also announced that same month that, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, the movie was pushed back to May 23, 2025. Production resumed in March 2024, but delayed due to a malfunction of a submarine. In July 2024, Simon Pegg revealed on Instagram that filming has wrapped up on his part, though the cast and crew are maintaining radio silence.[2][3]
It will be 29 years since Tom Cruise joined the franchise and played Ethan Hunt, and despite Part One and Two being billed as a send off to Ethan Hunt, Cruise has expressed making more Mission Impossible films.
