Digger (2026)
Digger is an upcoming 2026 comedy directed and co-produced by Alejandro González Iñárritu (the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind The Revenant and Birdman) and co-produced by Tom Cruise himself. The film stars Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, a wildly ambitious character described as “the most powerful man in the world” who races to prove he can save humanity from a disaster of his own making. The script was co-written by Iñárritu with Alexander Dinelaris, Nicolás Giacobone, and Sabina Berman, blending dark comedy with high stakes.
Alongside Cruise, the ensemble cast includes Sandra Hüller, Jesse Plemons, John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, Sophie Wilde and Emma D’Arcy in supporting roles. While plot details are still under wraps, the film is being touted as a “comedy of catastrophic proportions” and is set to hit cinemas in October 2026.
