The news comes after the leak of an audio recording from the set of the film in which Cruise could be heard excoriating crew members who apparently broke COVID protocols on set.
“I’m on the phone with every f**king studio at night, insurance companies, producers and they’re looking at us and using us to make their movies. We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf**kers,” Cruise was heard saying on the recording. “I don’t ever want to see it again. Ever!”
“Mission: Impossible 7” is scheduled to hit theatres Nov. 19, 2021.
