The 58-year-old action star, along with 60 other people from the set, is having to self-isolate for two weeks after 14 crew members tested positive for coronavirus.

AceShowbiz - Tom Cruise's worst nightmare has happened yet again. A few months after "Mission: Impossible VII" production was shut down due to coronavirus-related issues, the filming got delayed one more time because some crew members tested positive for COVID-19, leaving the action star "fuming" over it.

"Tom is absolutely fuming about what's happened, especially given his rant to his staff last year," a source spilled to The Sun. "It's going to badly affect filming and they'll be playing catch-up when they finally come back."

"Fourteen crew members have got Covid - most of them are close aides of Tom's," the source went on sharing. "The whole shooting crew, about 60 people, have all had to self-isolate for 14 days."

The Ethan Hunt depicter, who also produces the movie, was said to have been exposed while filming a scene in a nightclub. He was reportedly "within a couple of metres" of four women dancers, who contracted the virus along with ten other set workers.

This was not the first time the ex-husband of Katie Holmes had to delay "Mission: Impossible VII" filming. In February, the production was put on pause because cast and crew members allegedly refused to work. They reportedly demanded to go back to the U.K. from the Middle East before the country's new travel restrictions were applied.

"The whole production has hit yet another issue and there have been revolts among the cast and crew," an insider told The Sun at that time. "For quite a few of them, the prospect of having to quarantine in a hotel back in the U.K. is a step too far and they've demanded to be flown home before the rules change. The studio has had to fund a jet back and the missing cast and crew will inevitably cause another delay."

The delay came after Tom lashed out at his crew members in December 2020 for violating COVID-19 guidelines. "We are the gold standard," he shouted back then. "They're back there in Hollywood making movies right now because of us! Because they believe in us and what we're doing!"

"I'm on the phone with every f**king studio at night, insurance companies, producers and they're looking at us and using us to make their movies," he further raged. "We are creating thousands of jobs, you motherf**kers."
