Paramount has released an official statement (
via Deadline), following
Tom Cruise's injury on the set of
Mission: Impossible 6 over the weekend:
“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.”
We're excited to hear that
M:I6's release date is not affected and that Tom will be okay.

Earlier director Chris McQuarrie shared his exclusive interview with
Empire, where he talks about how the production is handling the delay.
It's really a must read!
Variety was first to report on Paramount's plan to shift production elements to deal with the hiatus.
According to
The Wrap, filming is now expected to finish by the end of the year.
What we don't know is how this delay could affect Henry and the
Justice League promotion, since you're dealing with different studios. But we're sure in the end it will all get worked out.
Of course this is all you guys want to know..
Priorities.
Look for updates on
M:I6 as they come in.
