Digger: Dig To Be Digged In The Official Trailer, Poster, And Images

Warner Bros. has released the official trailer, poster, and two new images for the new film from director Alejandro G. Iñárritu, Digger.



Article Summary

  • Warner Bros. has unveiled the official Digger trailer, offering the clearest look yet at Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s new film.
  • The new Digger footage leans into the movie’s strange, high-concept energy and sets up a wild theatrical ride this fall.
  • Tom Cruise leads Digger as a powerful man racing to prove he can save humanity before disaster destroys everything.
  • Digger arrives in theaters and IMAX on October 2, 2026, with Warner Bros. launching the film internationally on September 30.

Well, Warner Bros. is no longer hiding the fact that Tom Cruise is an old, weird man in Digger, so that's fun. Now, people are in the same boat as others when trying to figure out how to put into words what exactly this film is. Even seeing footage again, it's still one of the weirdest looking things in a hot minute, which means it's either going to blow up with the general population in a way no one can explain or this is going to be one of those films that only movie weirdos like yours truly go to see and end up having strong opinions on this one way or another. Digger is probably going to be one of those films people base their entire personality around, which is going to be fun. The official trailer is here, along with a new poster and two images as well. The new poster is kind of boring compared to the previous ones, but the trailer is doing a good job of letting audiences know they are in for a wild ride this fall.

Dig for be digged. Or something.
