Top Gun: Maverick & Mission: Impossible Delayed By Paramount

Top Gun: Maverick has now become the new No Time to Die as the film is moving dates once again!

The Hollywood Reporter has first reported that Paramount is pushing back two Tom Cruise tentpoles as concerns over the coronavirus pandemic and the delta variant continue to roil theater attendance.

Top Gun: Maverick is departing its Nov. 19 date and will now open May 27, 2022. Meanwhile, Mission: Impossible 7 is leaving that May 27, 2022 date and will now open Sept. 30, 2022. The studio has also pushed back Jackass Forever, which moves to Feb. 4, 2022, departing an Oct. 22, 2021 date.

Christopher McQuarrie returns to direct the seventh and eighth installments of the franchise, while Joseph Kosinski helms Maverick, which last week showed off its first 13 minutes at CinemaCon.
