Tom Cruise is set to bring Digger Rockwell to football’s biggest stage with a special performance during the FIFA World Cup Closing Ceremony ahead of the Final at New York-New Jersey Stadium. Appearing alongside a global lineup that includes Robbie Williams, Nicole Scherzinger, IShowSpeed, and Jennifer Hudson.

With Digger, he takes on one of his most unpredictable roles yet, exploring new dimensions as a performer alongside Alejandro G. Iñárritu. An original film from the Academy Award-winning filmmaker, Digger is a comedy of catastrophic proportions that stars Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an oil baron whose company may have triggered an ecological catastrophe with the potential to spark a nuclear war.



Tom Cruise features as Digger Rockwell; in the video, he said, “You want to know what separates a legend from everybody else? Well,it ain’t luck. It ain’t even speed. Yeah, it’s control. The greats, Pele, Maradona, Cristiano, Messi… they don’t hell chase the ball.

The ball answers to them. For me, Digger. I play with a much, much bigger ball, and I don’t play just to win, I play to dominate. Woo. Woo. See now we legends, we can make you believe just about anything. Even that gravity doesn’t exist. Ain’t that right, Maggie? Ole, ole, ole, ole, ole.

“

Cruise stars in the title role alongside Oscar winner Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Oscar nominee Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg and Oscar nominee Jesse Plemons. Robert John Burke, Emma D’Arcy, Burn Gorman and Sophie Wilde also star. An Alejandro G. Iñárritu Film, Digger was shot entirely in VistaVision and will be released in Cinemas and IMAX® across India on 2nd October 2026. The film will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.
