In a surprising departure from his typical action-packed roles, Tom Cruise takes center stage in the upcoming film 'Digger,' dancing awkwardly with a shovel in hand. The first teaser, released on Thursday, offers a glimpse into the project's unique tone and style, which has been described by director Alejandro G Iñárritu as 'a comedy of catastrophic proportions.' The 30-second clip is intentionally cryptic, featuring Cruise in a seemingly altered state, moving to an unknown rhythm. Without dialogue or a clear setting, the teaser leaves viewers with more questions than answers. 'Digger' is a project that has been shrouded in mystery, with plot details remaining tightly guarded. However, reports suggest Cruise plays a character attempting to convince others of his ability to save humanity from an impending disaster. The film marks a notable departure from Cruise's recent output, which has been dominated by physically demanding action roles. 'Digger' instead focuses on character work and physical presence, presented without context. The screenplay, written by Iñárritu and his collaborators, was shot on 35mm VistaVision, signaling a grand scale. The extensive cast includes Sandra Hüller, Jesse Plemons, John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, Emma D'Arcy, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Sophie Wilde. 'Digger' is set to release in October 2026, leaving fans eagerly anticipating the film's unique blend of comedy, drama, and visual spectacle.
