Filming for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s latest film starring Tom Cruise and John Goodman has been delayed after the latter sustained an apparent hip injury.
“Actor John Goodman experienced a hip injury,” Warner Bros. told the TheWrap. “He received immediate medical attention that led to a brief delay in shooting to allow him time to recover. The production resumes shooting next week following John’s full recovery.”
The untitled movie was set to be released on October 2, 2026. The film will follow “the most powerful man in the world” who is set to take on a mission to prove that he is the person who will save humanity. Iñárritu co-wrote the film alongside Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolas Giacobone. Its producers include Iñárritu, Cruise and Mary Parent.
Cruise and Goodman star in the movie alongside Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde and Riz Ahmed.
The movie is also Cruise’s first since signing a development deal with the studio in January 2024. At the time, a source familiar with the details said the deal is a “strategic partnership” between the studio and the actor.
“I have great respect and admiration for David, Pam, Mike, and the entire team at Warner Bros. Discovery and their commitment to movies, movie fans, and the theatrical experience. I look forward to making great movies together!” Cruise said in an official statement.
