Set photos of the new movie have also come out showing a scene where Tom Cruise and Haley Atwell are handcuffed together, so in this case the two actors have literally been spending a lot of time together.
Cruise reportedly rented a ship when the movie was filming in Norway so that everybody could stay together in a “bubble.”
Mission: Impossible 7 is filming during a global pandemic, which Tom Cruise takes very seriously, and that likely means that the cast and crew are spending more time together than they otherwise would.
It wouldn’t exactly be shocking if the two actors were seeing each other socially.
