Digger Trailer Offers First Look At Tom Cruise’s Transformation

Tom Cruise has undergone a dramatic make-under for his role in the new dystopian comedy Digger.

In the Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s much-hyped new film, the Top Gun star leads an all-star cast that includes Riz Ahmed, Jesse Plemons and Sandra Hüller, playing the titular Digger Rockwell, a billionaire tasked with saving the world from an environmental disaster that he’s seemingly responsible for causing in the first place.

Already one of 2026’s most anticipated new cinema releases, the first Digger trailer dropped at the end of June, although many were intrigued to discover that it was made up almost entirely of footage of clips from Tom’s old films, including Risky Business, Cocktail, Mission: Impossible, Jerry Maguire, Eyes Wide Shut and Tropic Thunder.

However, the first full-length trailer for the new film was released on Monday afternoon, depicting the Oscar-nominated Hollywood icon as you’ve never seen him before.

The footage also offers viewers a first glimpse at some of his A-list co-stars’ own transformations for the film for the first time.

Digger will also feature appearances from Call Me By Your Name’s Michael Stuhlbarg, Talk To Me’s Sophie Wilde and House Of The Dragon’s Emma D’Arcy, as well as Emmy winner John Goodman, who will play a fictitious president of the United States.

Its director Alejandro González Iñárritu, is a five-time Oscar recipient who has previously helmed the likes of Birdman and The Revenant.

While critics are yet to see Digger in full, footage from it premiered at CinemaCon in April, and was immediately praised by critics and journalists in attendance.

Billed in the new trailer as a “comedy of catastrophic proportions”, more specific details about the movie are being kept under wraps for the time being.

Digger will hit cinemas on Friday 2 October.
