The biggest issue with a potential delay, if it’s as much as four months is that it could mean Mission: Impossible 6 will miss its release date and get pushed out of the summer movie window.
This means we might not actually see the next Mission: Impossible until either the holiday season of 2018 or possibly even the summer of 2019.
This could, in turn, result in changes to other Tom Cruise projects as a major change in filming here could mean shooting schedules for everything else on the actor’s docket will have to be adjusted.
The film is currently set for a July 2018 release but if the movie still finds itself filming in early 2018 it may have trouble getting post-production done in time to hit that date.
