Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One finally arrives in cinemas next week after a lengthy production.
The new movie was all set to start filming in February 2020 before being shut down as a result of the pandemic, while its resumption was also hit with other delays and controversies.
It's no wonder that Simon Pegg told Digital Spy that this one was the "most challenging" movie yet. "It's the biggest and we made it in the midst of what was happening at the time," he explained.
"Chris [McQuarrie] always likes us to be living a parallel life of high adventure. When we were defusing the bomb in Fallout, it was 1.15 in the morning, everyone was tired, it was the pressure to defuse this bomb. It was as much [to film] as the pressure in the scene."
