Tom Cruise's next movie has a title and a wild premise. The film is called Digger, directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. It will be released in theaters in October 2026. Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment are behind it. Cruise will portray a character named Digger Rockwell, described as the planet's most powerful person. The story involves this character trying to save humanity from a disaster he accidentally caused. The studio calls the project a large-scale comedy.
Cruise shared a first-look poster on his Instagram. The supporting cast includes Sandra Huller, John Goodman, and Riz Ahmed. Other actors like Jesse Plemons and Emma Darcy are also involved. This movie represents Cruise's first major Warner Bros. project in years. His last film with them was Edge of Tomorrow. Inarritu shot the movie over six months in the United Kingdom. This marks his return to English-language films since The Revenant.
The director co-wrote the script with several Birdman collaborators. Speculation suggests the movie might premiere at the Venice Film Festival. Inarritu has a history there with films like Bardo. He also has a strong connection to the Cannes festival, which launched his career with Amores Perros. His virtual reality project, Flesh and Sand, previously earned a special Oscar.
