The red carpet for Warner Bros/Legendary's Digger was a spectacle of star power and royal prestige. Prince William and Princess Catherine made a notable appearance, first greeting leading man Tom Cruise and director Alejandro González Iñárritu. The royals then proceeded down the line, with Iñárritu escorting Prince William and Cruise alongside Princess Catherine, to meet the rest of the film's ensemble.

Among the celebrated cast members present were Riz Ahmed, John Goodman, Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, and Jesse Plemons. The guest list also boasted other industry luminaries, including Emma D’Arcy, Emmanuel Lubezki, Sophie Wilde, J.J. Abrams, Hannah Waddingham, and Salma Hayek, as reported by Deadline.

Once inside, Tom Cruise took the stage to introduce the film, extending his gratitude to the Royal Family for their presence. "We want to thank the Royal Highnesses for supporting this event," Cruise stated, adding, "And just to tell them that we love them and we really appreciate what they do for the arts for this country and for the world, thank you."

Cruise also took a moment to commend his director, Iñárritu, expressing his long-standing admiration for the filmmaker's work. "You are one of one and I have so admired your films from the very first one, and to have the opportunity to work with you has been one of the great dreams of mine and pleasure," Cruise shared, teasing the audience about the character Iñárritu had created. "I’ve never seen anything like it. His mind is just extraordinary."

Alejandro González Iñárritu reciprocated the praise, highlighting Cruise's remarkable qualities beyond his acting prowess. The director lauded Cruise's on-set demeanor, noting, "We all know how incredible actor he is, but I think for me the most surprising thing is, how generous, how the positive energy that he brought every day to the set." Iñárritu playfully described Cruise's enthusiasm as "contagious — it’s actually uncomfortable," eliciting a laugh from the star.

In Digger, Tom Cruise portrays Digger Rockwell, a powerful oil baron determined to prove his worth as humanity's savior. His frantic mission unfolds amidst an environmental catastrophe that he himself unleashed, threatening to destroy everything. The dark political comedy is set to debut internationally on September 30, with its North American and IMAX release slated for October 2.
