Overview
- Warner Bros. released the first official trailer Monday, establishing Digger’s darkly comic tone and confirming the new Cruise–Iñárritu collaboration.
- Tom Cruise appears heavily made up with prosthetics to play Digger Rockwell and told reporters the role was the greatest acting challenge of his career.
- The film follows oil magnate Digger Rockwell after drilling in Greenland triggers a global ecological catastrophe that he then tries to contain.
- Warner Bros. has announced an early‑October theatrical and IMAX rollout commonly reported as October 2, 2026, though some outlets list alternate territory dates; Iñárritu is completing post‑production sound work in London.
- Shot in VistaVision with cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and a supporting cast that includes John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, Sandra Hüller, Jesse Plemons, Michael Stuhlbarg, Emma D’Arcy and Sophie Wilde, Digger is being framed by critics and the industry as both a big‑screen event and an early awards‑season contender.
