Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise is teaming up with acclaimed director Alejandro G. Iñárritu for an untitled drama film. Iñárritu, known for award-winning movies like Birdman and The Revenant, will direct the movie. The film has assembled a talented cast that includes Tom Cruise as well as several Oscar-winning and nominated actors.
Little is known about the film’s plot, but it is described as a “high-stakes drama.” Sources say the storyline follows “the most powerful man in the world” as he desperately tries to prove he can save humanity from a disaster he caused. This premise suggests audiences will see Cruise take on a serious dramatic role outside the action movies he’s known for.
Joining Cruise in the film are actors with proven dramatic abilities like Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons. Rising star Sophie Wilde and Oscar winner Riz Ahmed are also expected to star. The cast will perform a script written by Iñárritu alongside accomplished screenwriters Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris, and Nicolas Giacobone.
Warner Bros. will distribute the untitled film as part of their partnership with Cruise. It marks an important collaboration between the actor and Iñárritu, whose visually striking movies like Birdman and The Revenant earned him Academy Awards. Critics are anticipating the drama could showcase Cruise’s acting talents beyond action. With its A-list cast and crew, the film is considered a major event and may be released in 2025.
