Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One faced obstacles during filming
Tom Cruise’s latest film faced many setbacks caused by Covid-19 during its multi-year shoot.

An audio of Tom insisting that the crew abide by Covid-19 restrictions went viral.
Tom spoke about the film
On Returning to the franchise, Tom told The Hollywood Reporter, “We talked about it. We dreamed about it. It’s very, very special. On Top Gun: Maverick, they kept pushing the movie and pushing the movie, and for (McQuarrie) and I, this is such an ambitious movie. And it was a very challenging film to produce, and then everything happened, and it was even more challenging. So to have this response…is very, very special. I’m just going to make the best films that I can make, and I want them all to perform well, and I want all of the other films to perform well.”
He added, “I think about a movie in terms of the quality and longevity, I invest everything in it. So, really, my job is just to try to make the best film I possibly can to entertain the audience for that particular genre.” People have a lot of expectations from the film as it has been released in theatres at a time when a number of summer tentpoles underperformed at the box office, including The Flash, Elemental and Indiana Jones.
