Tom Cruise Did Not Purchase COVID-19 Robots To Continue Filming Mission Impossible 7 Tom Cruise actually didn't purchase any robots to enforce COVID-19 protocols while filming Mission Impossible 7. The star uncorked the mother of all rants when some of the staff on the film were accused of not adhering to the rules. Mission Impossible 7’s troubles were the talk of the industry around Christmas. However, a recent report from The Sun said that Cruise had taken matters into his own hands. The idea of a couple of autonomous bots patrolling is terrifying, but it's not true. SlashFilm confirmed that the report wasn't true. So, fans can rest assured that there a no bi-pedal Terminator stalking the set. But, the security and protocols have been ratcheted up in light of the prior troubles with COVID-19.
