'Mission: Impossible 6' set for July 27, 2018 release

Hollywood star Tom Cruise's "Mission: Impossible 6" will hit the theatres on July 27, 2018.

In 2015, close to the release of "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation," Cruise had announced that he has decided to go ahead with the sixth installment in the franchise, reported Variety.

The 54-year-old actor had said that the movie would have "...More incredible set pieces, stunts and what I think is a very entertaining and compelling story."

The project is being produced and financed by Paramount and partner Skydance Productions, headed by David Ellison. Cruise is also a producer.

The five "Mission: Impossible" films, all starring Cruise as agent Ethan Hunt, grossed a combined USD 2.8 billion at the worldwide box office. "Rogue Nation" was produced by Cruise along with JJ Abrams, Bryan Burk, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Don Granger.
