Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning to Stream on Paramount+ with Title Change
The sequel, originally titled 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two', is also expected to undergo a title change following a delay in its release.
- Paramount Pictures has announced that the latest Mission: Impossible movie, originally titled 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One', will be available for streaming on Paramount+ from January 25, but with a slight change in title, dropping 'Part One'.
- The change in title is speculated to be due to Paramount deciding to change the title of its upcoming sequel, originally named 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two', after the studio announced a delay in its release from June 28, 2024, to May 23, 2025.
- The seventh movie in the franchise, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, stars Tom Cruise as secret agent Ethan Hunt, who embarks on a mission to track down a dangerous new AI entity before it ends up in the wrong hands.
- The latest installment in the franchise did not perform well at the box office, leading to speculations about the future of the series and the relationship between Tom Cruise and Paramount Pictures.
- Despite the title change and box office slump, the eighth movie in the series is still expected to tie up all of Dead Reckoning’s unresolved plot threads, including the IMF’s fight against rogue AI, The Entity, and the rivalry between Ethan Hunt and Gabriel (Esai Morales).
