Kroll even claimed that the Top Gun actor won\u2019t look like the \u201cmovie-star Tom Cruise\u201d in the upcoming film.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>When asked if Digger was a straight-up comedy, Kroll stated that it was a \u201cmulti-genre\u201d film and compared it to 2014\u2019s Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance), another feature helmed by I\u00f1\u00e1rritu. <\/p>\n<p>The official logline for Digger reads, \u201cThe most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity\u2019s saviour before the disaster he\u2019s unleashed destroys everything.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Aside from Cruise, the film\u2019s cast also includes Sandra H\u00fcller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Emma D\u2019Arcy, Robert John Burke, Sophie Wilde, Riz Ahmed, Burn Gorman, and Pip Torrens.

Abdy said that the movie is like \u201cnothing you\u2019ve ever seen.\u201d She added, \u201cThat\u2019s what\u2019s so brilliant. This is the fourth time I\u2019ve worked with him (I\u00f1\u00e1rritu). He never repeats himself, and he\u2019s constantly taking you into his mind and his vision and surprising you. And this movie does exactly that.\u201d Meanwhile, DeLuca called the movie \u201cstunning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Digger is scheduled to premiere in theaters on October 2, 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several important details about Tom Cruise\u2018s next movie have been revealed.
