2. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 2

With Dead Reckoning being the first two-parter in the decades-long Mission: Impossible franchise, and coming off the success of the first part, understandably production was set to begin as soon as physically possible.

Writer-director Christopher McQuarrie has spoken previously about how tight the schedule will be in terms of turning around Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 2 in time for its June 2024 release. Though all but a few sequences have been filmed already, the SAG-AFTRA strike will arguably affect this movie more than any other.

With some movies having either more time until their set release dates, or no attached release dates, there is at least potential wiggle room for production. With Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 2 having less than a year to go, however, this is a luxury that Tom Cruise and co. don't have.

Releasing on time itself seems a Mission: Impossible at this point.
