Tom Cruise is shooting “Mission: Impossible 8” on an aircraft carrier in the Adriatic Sea

Tom Cruise reportedly departed the Italian port city of Bari, Puglia, by helicopter on February 26. According to the Apulian Film Committee, he is said to have been on his way to a US aircraft carrier that is currently lying in the Adriatic Sea between Italy and Croatia. There he dedicated himself, together with director Christopher McQuarrie, to the shooting of the eighth part of the “Mission: Impossible” series. McQuarrie’s Instagram posts seem to confirm that these are flight scenes.

Mission: Impossible 8 will be subtitled Dead Reckoning Part Two. Production for the supposedly last part of the series, in which Tom Cruise is involved as Ethan Hunt, started in March 2022. Its immediate predecessor “Mission: Impossible 7 – Dead Reckoning Part One” already has a first trailer. It is currently in post-production.

Release dates have already been announced for both films. The first part is scheduled to hit American cinemas on July 14, 2023. The sequel then the following year on June 28th. It is not yet possible to say with certainty whether this deadline can be met.

All that is known about the plot of the two-parter so far is that it is intended to complete the story of Ethan Hunt. Alongside Cruise, Ving Rhames (Luther Stickell) and Vanessa Kirby (Alana Mitsopolis) also return. Henry Czerny will also be back in the series for the first time since 1996. Back then, in the first part, he was there in the role of Eugene Kittridge as Hunt’s opponent.

Cruise’s current action blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick is nominated for six Oscars and was one of the top-grossing films nationally and internationally in 2022.
