There is something almost strange about seeing Tom Cruise step away from the kind of role that has defined the last decade of his career. Instead of another impossible mission, another aircraft, or another sequence built around whether Cruise can physically survive what the script throws at him, Digger puts him in the middle of…
Digger takes a very different route into the apocalypse. Alejandro G. Inarritu, the filmmaker behind Birdman and The Revenant, turns away from intimate psychological drama and brutal survival stories to make something much darker and stranger: an apocalyptic satire about money, ego, media control, and the absurd lengths powerful people will go to when their…
Hollywood has a strange one on its hands in 2026. Digger brings Tom Cruise together with Alejandro G. Inarritu for a vicious dark comedy about wealth, power, environmental collapse, and the kind of billionaire ego that assumes every disaster can be solved with better publicity. Inarritu, the filmmaker behind Birdman and The Revenant, is working…
The upcoming release of Digger (2026) has already generated plenty of curiosity, and not only because Alejandro González Iñárritu is behind the camera and Tom Cruise is at the center of the cast. This is a very strange project on paper. Cruise, usually associated with impossible stunts, motorcycles, aircraft and characters who seem physically incapable…
Digger is already shaping up to be one of the stranger films of 2026. Alejandro G. Iñárritu is directing Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an absurdly wealthy oil tycoon whose business empire appears to have helped trigger an ecological catastrophe, and the official synopsis promises a frantic attempt to convince the world that he can…
Some movies arrive with a trailer. Digger seems to have arrived with an argument already attached to it. Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s satirical black comedy is scheduled for a wide theatrical and IMAX release from Warner Bros. Pictures on October 2, 2026, after its world premiere in London on September 22, and the conversation around it…
Hollywood has always loved a big gamble, but Digger might be one of the strangest ones in recent memory. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, a four-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker known for brutal, serious dramas, is directing Tom Cruise in a dark satire about a billionaire oil tycoon who may quite literally help push the world toward disaster….
Tom Cruise has spent decades turning himself into the human face of blockbuster spectacle. He hangs from aircraft, climbs impossible buildings, rides motorcycles toward cliffs and generally treats physical danger as part of the job description. Then comes Digger, Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s very strange black comedy, where Cruise plays a wealthy oil tycoon whose own…
Late 2026 gets a rather strange blockbuster with Digger, a satirical black comedy that puts Alejandro González Iñárritu behind the camera and Tom Cruise in a role that is about as far away from Ethan Hunt as you can imagine. The film is built as a large-scale auteur production through Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary…
The internet has been losing its mind over the first trailer for Digger (2026), the upcoming satirical black comedy from two-time Academy Award winner Alejandro González Iñárritu. The reaction is not really surprising. The first thing everyone noticed was not the plot, not the jokes, not even the massive cast. It was Tom Cruise. Because…
The first trailer for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ dark comedy Digger arrived, and the internet immediately went into detective mode. Viewers were not prepared for what they were seeing. The man slowly moving across the screen with a shovel, wearing a thinning white comb-over, deep wrinkles, and a huge beer belly was not some…
For decades, Tom Cruise built his career on speed, spectacle, and impossible stunts. Digger goes in the opposite direction. Instead of hanging from airplanes or sprinting through explosions, Cruise disappears inside a character who barely resembles the movie star audiences have known for more than forty years. The first official trailer, directed by two-time Academy…
