Tom Cruise has suffered an injury while performing a stunt on the set of Mission: Impossible 6, but the film is still slated for its release next year.
Paramount has confirmed to IGN that Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt and that production has halted until he is fully recovered. The full statement reads:
"During production on the latest Mission: Impossible film, Tom Cruise broke his ankle while performing a stunt. Production will go on hiatus while Tom makes a full recovery, and the film remains on schedule to open July 27, 2018. Tom wants to thank you all for your concern and support and can’t wait to share the film with everyone next summer."
Variety reports the actor may have broken his ankle in two places and hurt his hip after failing to leap across a building gap. Sources have estimated a pause in production to Variety of between six weeks to three months.
Any further delay could also potentially impact the release and filming of the recently-announced Top Gun sequel Maverick, which is currently slated to hit theaters on July 12, 2019, according to the initial report.
Director and writer Christopher McQuarrie spoke earlier this year about the film's different look at Ethan Hunt and teased notable character returns.
Reports before the film's release also suggested pre-production had been delayed because of disputes over Cruise's salary for the film.
The cast includes Superman star Henry Cavill, who recently addressed reports about how reshoots of Justice League would affect his filming of Mission: Impossible 6, as well as returning stars Rebecca Fergusson and Simon Pegg.
