How the hell are movies still being delayed because of coronavirus? How is this still happening? It made a lot of sense in 2020 when filming wasn’t happening because of the pandemic.

Now, I’m not sure it makes much sense at all. In fact, I need someone to explain to me why bumping films back is still necessary.

Fans have been waiting so long for both of these Tom Cruise films. We should have had them a long time ago.

Instead, we’re now going to be waiting even longer into 2022 to get them. It’s truly insane the level of disruption COVID-19 had on the entertainment industry.

Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that no more delays happened. It’s the last thing we need.
