The upcoming Tom Cruise film, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and slated for release in 2026, has revealed its title through a mysterious first trailer.
Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s new film, Digger, will be released in theaters next October. It’s his first movie since Bardo in 2022, and is being called a wildly chaotic comedy.
Tom Cruise swaps his usual action roles for comedy in this film, playing the main character, Digger Rockwell. The movie’s tagline, “In Digger we trust,” hints at the central theme.

The latest trailer offered more clues about the movie’s puzzling story, showing the main character dancing and carrying a shovel.
Although the new trailer doesn’t reveal much about the plot of Digger, Warner Bros. has shared a brief description of Tom Cruise’s character. He plays the world’s most powerful man who races against time to prove he’s a hero before a catastrophe he caused wipes out everything.

The movie title, Digger, is creatively designed on the poster: the letters stack on top of each other to create the shape of a person holding a shovel and wearing cowboy boots.
Tom Cruise stars alongside a talented ensemble cast featuring Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde, Riz Ahmed, and Emma D’Arcy.
I’m really excited about this new film! It’s directed by Iñárritu, who also produced it alongside Tom Cruise. And get this – he wrote the script with the same team he worked with on Birdman – Nicolas Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris, and Sabina Berman – so I have a feeling it’s going to be amazing. It came out in 2023, and knowing those creative minds are behind it makes me even more eager to see it!

Alejandro Gónzalez Iñárritu’s new film, Digger, is scheduled to come out in October of next year. This makes a premiere at the Venice Film Festival in September a strong possibility, as he has successfully launched films like Bardo, Birdman, and 21 Grams there in the past.
Tom Cruise’s latest movie, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, came out in May. The actor, known for Top Gun, has stated this will be his final film playing Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible series.
Digger is released in cinemas on 2 October 2026.
