Tom Cruise and Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s wild swing, Digger, is up for release soon and has been hyped enough to be one of the most-looked-forward-to movies of the year because of this specific combo. This will be the first time the actor-director duo will collaborate on a project despite being associated with each other for around 25 years. 

Tom Cruise fans are expecting a home run with this one, and the latest BTS clip dropped from the movie has elicited all sorts of reactions from fans. The actor recently dropped a video clip on his X (Twitter) handle where he is depicted sitting in the “Situation Room” with John Goodman, Riz Ahmed, and other characters. 

Director Alejandro G. Iñárritu can be seen in the clip setting up for the scene, and the moment he says action, a loud sound is heard followed by a strong gust of wind, seeming like the aftermath of a devastating blast. As soon as he got the desired reactions from the actors, the director had a big smile on his face and cut the scene.
