[E-Daily Starin Choi Hee-jae Reporter] The movie "Digger," featuring actor Tom Cruise’s 180-degree transformation, is set to hit theaters in Korea this October.

Warner Bros. Korea, the importer and distributor, announced on the 15th, “The film ‘Digger’ has been confirmed for release in Korea this October.”
The main poster and second trailer, released on the same day, reveal Tom Cruise’s new character, “Digger Rockwell,” who had previously been shrouded in mystery. Dressed as a white-haired elderly man, Tom Cruise is set to showcase a side of his acting we’ve never seen before in *Digger*.
On the main poster, “Digger Rockwell” stands with a commanding presence, clutching a massive shovel. Standing on a globe, he appears to have the world at his feet and seems completely fearless.
The trailer piques curiosity with the story of “Digger,” who, in his pursuit of profit, causes an irreversible global catastrophe, accompanied by the tagline, “Dig to the end, or die.” It heightens the suspense surrounding how he will navigate this unprecedented disaster.

Tom Cruise has drawn attention by reportedly opening a TikTok account for the first time in his 46-year career to promote “Digger.” He demonstrated his special affection for the film by posting event footage from “Digger” along with a teaser trailer on his TikTok account.
The film “Digger” won Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography, and was nominated in five categories including Best Actor, as well as *The Revenant*, which won Best Director, Best Cinematography, and Best Actor at the 88th Academy Awards and was nominated in nine categories including Best Picture.
The collaboration between Tom Cruise—beloved for explosive action blockbusters such as the *Mission: Impossible* series and *Top Gun: Maverick*—and director González Iñárritu is generating high anticipation. In addition, a star-studded cast of talented actors is set to deliver powerful performances, including Sandra Wheeler from *Anatomy of a Fall* and *Zone of Interest*; John Goodman, beloved for his distinctive performances; and Jesse Plemons, who won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for *Kinds of Kindness*.
Tom Cruise visited Korea last May for the film *Mission: Impossible – Fallout*. Returning to Korean audiences with a new film just one year later, Tom Cruise is set to deliver a fresh and surprising experience through his new look and performance.
