The possible break will take Tom Cruise a few months to recover from. What was the stunt that caused injuries to the “Mission Impossible” actor?

The actor was jumping rooftops in London for an action packed scene. Although he was harnessed while jumping, he missed his mark and slammed his ankle into the side of the building. Shortly after his injury, photos of Cruise invaded the internet.

It is well-known in the industry that Cruise does his own stunts for almost every action movie he makes. This last accident could change all that.

However, there are also complications with the schedules of the other members of the cast which includes Henry Cavill, Simon Pegg, and Rebecca Ferguson, who are all scheduled to start filming for other films.

Cruise is also expected to begin filming the sequel to the 1986 “Top Gun” film where he will reprise his role as Maverick. As of the moment, there is no exact time frame when he will start filming for “Mission: Impossible 6” again. The delay in filming could cause the film to be pushed back to 2019.
