Mission:Impossible 6 finally gets a release date – but you’ll have to wait until 2018 to see it

WE’VE known for a while that Mission: Impossible 6 is on the way.

As Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation hit cinemas last year, Tom Cruise promised a “compelling” sixth instalment and we’ve been excited ever since.
Now, one year on, we’ve finally been given a release date.

Tom Cruise will return as Ethan Hunt for Mission: Impossible 6

LATEST trailer for Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation sees Ethan Hunt and the team shut down and fighting to survive 

 

While Cruise officially closed his deal for the film in September, it won't arrive until July 27, 2018.
A small team had begun early prep on the film, including visual effects tests, but there was a delay due to a reported pay dispute between the actor and Paramount.
As it was resolved and his contract drawn up, production has finally been given the go-ahead.

The A-list actor, who plays Ethan Hunt in the films, will be both starring in and co-producing the next film, while bets are on that Rebecca Ferguson will also return.
It sounds like there are big plans for it too, as Katie Holmes' ex-husband promised in April at Cinemacon that there would be plenty of action and assured fans it would include "more incredible set pieces, stunts..and what I think is a very entertaining and compelling story."

Paramount Pictures

The Mission: Impossible films have grossed a combined $2.8 billion at the worldwide box office, while last year's hit managed to rake in just under $700million.
