Fans noticed photographs from the Instagram of UK-based gaffer Martin Smith, which seem to show that production for the film has been completed. In the photograph, a handful of men can be seen holding an oversized slate with the words “Mission Complete!” written on them, along with the tentative title and logo for Mission: Impossible 7.
The news that production has wrapped comes just a little over a week from the news that Paramount Pictures is pushing back the date for the highly anticipated film. Instead of launching on May 27, 2022, the film will now launch a couple of months later on September 30, 2022.
