Hayley Atwell and Simon Pegg sport face masks as they head to Venice to film Mi7

They’ve been back to work on the big-budget blockbuster during the COVID-19 pandemic, shooting in locations such as Italy and Norway.

And some of the Mission Impossible 7 cast including Hayley Atwell and Simon Pegg were seen heading into Termini station in Rome before heading to Venice. 

It is believed that they are shooting the next instalment of the film in the City of Canals, however lead star Tom Cruise was absent from the group.

Hayley, 38, looked casual yet chic in a purple geometric print jumper, which was tucked into a pair of smart trousers teamed with white trainers.

The actress wore her brunette locks swept up off her face into a neat bun, while covering most of her face with a black mask in line with coronavirus regulation.

She kept her essentials in a chic white cross-body bag, while lugging her belongings in two black hold-alls in either hand.

Meanwhile her co-star Simon, 50, also opted for a low-key ensemble while travelling to the Italian city, wearing a dark denim jacket and a pair of combat trousers.

He appeared almost unrecognisable in a black face mask and a pair of dark shares while chatting away to Hayley outside the train station. 

Simon appeared to be travelling light as he sported just a rucksack on his back.

Vanessa Kirby 32, was also among the group as she hugged Simon hello as they headed to another location for filming.

She looked stylish in a green jacket and hoodie, accessorised with a black tweed baker boy style cap.  

Filming for the upcoming action movie was halted in Italy earlier this year after cases of coronavirus rose sharply. 

The crew and actors had been in Norway filming ever since, before returning to the Italian capital to continue with scenes.

Earlier this summer it was reported that Tom hired a £500,000 ship for the film’s crew in Norway to avoid any coronavirus-related delays.

Filming was already delayed for five months after COVID-19 spread across Italy, where production had been based in March, leading the release date to be pushed back to November 2021.   

‘They are terrified of further delays. Tom is determined not to see any more hold-ups. The studio believes it will keep everyone safe and get this shoot wrapped up’, a source told The Sun earlier this summer.

It was recently claimed that Tom was ‘exempt from Norway’s quarantine rules’ as he restarted filming in the Scandinavian country.   

The media personality revealed how ‘excited’ he was to start shooting the latest instalment of the franchise in a phone call with Norway’s Minister of Culture Abid Raja.    

Mission Impossible 7 will be released on November 19, 2021.
