** The UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic has caused major delays in the production several times in a row. It got so bad that Tom Cruise went on a rant against crew members who didn't comply with pandemic time production guidelines, insisting that it was also about ensuring the livelihood of everyone involved. As producer, it was important to Cruise that the production went as smoothly as possible, as a successful shoot could show other studios they could film even under protocols (Cruise even rented an entire cruise liner for the crew to quarantine in relative comfort). That rant was recorded and leaked in mid-December 2020. Even after the rant, though, production still wound up pausing due to additional positive COVID tests in the ensuing months.

** The production was looking for a train bridge that would be scheduled for destruction to blow it up onscreen. They found one in UsefulNotes/{{Poland}}... until it turned out it had historical value after all, there was a misunderstanding about it being destined to be destroyed as well as strong opposition to the idea. So they headed back to the US and built one from scratch.
