Editing Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (section)

=== Filming ===
In February 2021, Deadline Hollywood reported that the film would no longer be filmed back-to-back with ''[[Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning]]'' (2023), due to that film's production and release schedule being delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. By November, McQuarrie was in the process of rewriting the film. On March 23, 2022, The Hollywood Reporter reported the beginning of principal photography of ''Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two''. Filming took place in the UK at Longcross Studios and the Lake District. Other locations included Malta, South Africa and Norway. In December 2022, it was reported that filming was finished in the UK. The crew then moved to Apulia in Italy to continue filming aboard the aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush. During the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, production was thought to have been put on hold according to an interview with McQuarrie in the June 2023 issue of the Empire magazine. However, this was later revealed to have been a misinterpretation of McQuarrie's statement, and continued production was only waiting for the promotion of Part One to complete. Filming was officially suspended in July due to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike. The film returned to production in March 2024, though in May, encountered a delay due to a submarine malfunction. During a filming in England, Cruise and Morales were observed performing stunts from an airborne biplane, with Cruise holding onto the wings of the open cockpit aircraft as it flew upside down, while the pilot wore a greenscreen suit so as to be digitally removed from the final shot. In July 2024, Pegg revealed on Instagram that filming has wrapped up on his part, though the cast and crew are maintaining radio silence. According to an interview between Cruise and Paramount as per The Hollywood Reporter in November 2024, the film has wrapped production and is currently in post-production.
