Tom Cruise is Digger Rockwell. But who is Digger? What’s his story? Your guess is as good as anyone’s. The secret project unites Cruise and Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu for the first time, but apart from Cruise’s character’s name and the fact he does actually use a shovel, not much is known about the 2026 comedy.
Warner Bros. Pictures dropped the perfect title announcement teaser, which gives away absolutely nothing. We see Cruise in boots, holding a shovel, and then walking on a railing at the beach.
Digger, a comedy of catastrophic proportions, will open in theaters on October 2, 2026.
