Overview
- Tom Cruise posted a career-retrospective video that included roughly 30 seconds of footage from Digger and announced a trailer for July 13, with the post published on Tuesday, June 23.
- The preview shows Cruise as oil baron Digger Rockwell with a noticeable belly and thinning gray hair, a stark departure from his usual action-hero image.
- Warner Bros. has described Digger as a “comedy of catastrophic dimensions,” and a late-2025 teaser previously showed Cruise in Western boots with a shovel, reinforcing the film’s surreal tone.
- Alejandro González Iñárritu directs the film, which is reported to open in cinemas in October and features an ensemble that includes Sandra Hüller, Jesse Plemons, Riz Ahmed and John Goodman.
- The studio’s staggered rollout keeps plot details opaque so the July trailer will be a key moment to reveal tone and story and regional release dates such as the reported October 1 German opening remain subject to confirmation.
