The first trailer for Tom Cruise in Digger just dropped: It's confusing, brilliant and leaves you with so many questions

The first trailer for Tom Cruise’s upcoming film Digger has been released, and it is presented as a satire black comedy that leaves much unanswered despite showcasing Cruise’s on-screen range. The footage debuted on Wednesday, with Cruise, aged 63, leading an ensemble cast. The article describes the trailer runtime as three minutes and 23 seconds and notes that long stretches function like highlights from Cruise’s career, including references to iconic lines and scenes from films such as Top Gun and Magnolia, as well as the Risky Business sliding moment. When the trailer finally reaches Digger scenes at the two-minute-31-second mark, the plot remains largely unclear. Cruise plays Digger Rockwell, described in the official synopsis as the most powerful person in the world, embarking on a desperate mission to convince humanity he is its savior before a catastrophe he caused destroys everything. Alejandro G. Iñárritu is also tied to the project, with a cast that includes Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Sophie Wilde, Emma D’Arcy, Michael Stuhlbarg, John Goodman, Burn Gorman, and Robert John Burke.
