The 2020s has been an interesting decade for action cinema because the genre had gone through a significant revival at the end of the 2010s. Although superhero fatigue had just started to set in, there was more desire for classic action cinema that reflected films like Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, First Blood, and Commando from the ‘80s. Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic did become a massive barrier within the production of these ambitious films, and several of the biggest action franchises in the world have had to take a backseat. While No Time To Die managed to perform pretty well after being pushed back several times due to COVID, it didn’t receive the same critical acclaim as Casino Royale and didn’t earn the awards recognition or box office of Skyfall. The Mission: Impossible series struggled with a production that was shut down during the pandemic, leading to a ballooning budget; Mission: Impossible- Dead Reckoning was a great film that sadly underperformed as a result of running into the “Barbenheimer” train, and Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning was a disappointment that ended the series on a somewhat underwhelming note.
