Tom Cruise sees THREE of his movies – Top Gun: Maverick and two Mission: Impossible sequels – postponed again due to the pandemic
Tom Cruise has just seen three of his upcoming movies postponed by the latest release schedule reshuffle of the ongoing pandemic.
His forthcoming movie Top Gun: Maverick was meant to arrive in theaters July 2 this year but has now been bumped to November 19, Deadline reports.
However November 19 was previously meant to be the release date of the seventh Mission: Impossible movie so both that film and its sequel have to be pushed back.

Paramount has set new release dates for 10 movies in all which includes the Top Gun sequel and the next two Mission: Impossible movies.
Top Gun: Maverick has had to undergo a string of postponements stretching back to even before the coronavirus pandemic.
Its initial release date was in July 2019, then it was pushed to summer 2020. Then lockdown necessitated its delay to two days before last Christmas.
As the year 2020 rumbled on even a winter release appeared unfeasible for various reasons including schedule changes for other movies.

Consequently the film, a sequel to Tom Gun’s iconic 1986 action drama, was moved to this July only to now be shifted again to the week before Thanksgiving.
The seventh Mission: Impossible is now slated for release May 27, 2022 prompting a delay for film eight which was previously scheduled to come out that same year.
Mission: Impossible 8 has now been shifted from its planned November 4, 2022 release date to July 7 the following year.
May 27, 2022 was previously the set release date for an upcoming Dungeons And Dragons movie which has newly been moved to March 3, 2023.

Dungeons And Dragons has been assembling a star-studded cast including Hugh Grant as a villain and Chris Pine and Michelle Rodriguez in other roles.
The fourth Jacka** movie has fared a bit better, being delayed just seven weeks from September 3 to October 22 this year.
However October 22 had previously been the release date Snake Eyes, a G.I. Joe spin-off movie led by Crazy Rich Asians star Henry Golding.

Rather than postponing Snake Eyes the studio has instead given it an earlier release, choosing the summer blockbuster date of July 23.
Three out of the 10 newly announced release dates are in fact not delays but the first release dates that have been made public for these particular films.
Mission: Impossible 8’s former release date of November 4, 2022 has now been given to a biopic of the Bee Gees.

A movie based on the 1970s children’s book The Shrinking Of Treehorn and reportedly directed by Ron Howard will bow November 10, 2023.
Exactly one week later viewers will be treated to a movie that stars smoldering Hollywood heartthrobs John Krasinski and Ryan Reynolds.
