It’s been a while since we’ve heard any updates forMission: Impossible 8. Still,Ted LassoandThe Garfield Moviestar Hannah Waddingham is ready to offer audiences some encouraging words about the film’s progress. While walking the orange carpet at the world premiere ofThe Garfield Movie, in which Waddingham stars as the voice of Jinx, the cat show diva and villain of the film, Waddingham saidMission: Impossible 8is nearly ready to resume filming.

“We’re just about to start shooting again onMission,yes,” Waddingham confirmed toEntertainment Tonight. While she couldn’t reveal any plot details, Waddingham says herMissioncharacter is a “powerful woman” and is “quite functional” in the face of dangerous missions, massive explosions, and death-defying stuntwork.

Waddingham also re-upped her comments about herMission: Impossibleco-star, Tom Cruise, saying he’s a “gorgeous and inspirational” person who goes above and beyond to bring something unique to his films.

Details aboutMission: Impossible 8are scarce. The film was originally supposed to be released on June 28, 2024, but delays caused by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes pushed the project into aMay 23, 2025, release.

Mission: Impossible 8likely sees Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt continuing his struggle with The Entity, an advanced, self-aware rogue AI capable of penetrating cyber security and predicting probable futures.

Early on, it was said that the two-partDead Reckoningwould be a “culmination” of the entire series and serve as a “send-off” to the Ethan Hunt character. That’s not the case. When he saw 80-year-old Harrison Ford reprising the role of Indiana Jones inDial of Destiny, 61-year-old Cruise said he hopes to be makingMission: Impossiblemovies until he reaches Ford’sDial of Destinyage. McQuarrie has said these films won’t be the end for the franchise, and he and Cruise even already have ideas for what comes next. So, if the next movie succeeds, we can expect Ethan Hunt to return for more adventures.
