Mission: Impossible 7 will resume filming in September
Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie will continue the Mission: Impossible 7 shoot this September, following the coronavirus delay.
The news was confirmed on BBC Radio 4's Today programme in an interview with first assistant director Tommy Gormley.
"We hope to start shooting again in September," he said. "We were days from shooting in Venice – we were right at the epicentre when it all kicked off – so we had to shut down in Venice where we were four or five days from shooting."

"We hope to visit all the countries we planned to and look to do a big chunk of it back in the UK on the backlot and in the studio, so September through to end April/May is our targets. We are convinced we can do this."
Gormley went on to suggest "tens of thousands" of film industry employees needed to return to work.
"We have to do it safely and protect our colleagues, but it is definitely possible and we're working flat out to make it happen," he added.
Mission: Impossible 7 and Mission: Impossible 8, which are being shot back-to-back, will now be released on November 19, 2021 and November 4, 2022.
