What happens when Hollywood’s most fearless action star dives headfirst into the wild mind of Alejandro G. Iñárritu? We’re about to find out. Tom Cruise has ditched the stunts (well, most of them) and signed on for Judy, a savage, genre-defying comedy from the Oscar-winning director of Birdman and The Revenant.
According to Deadline, described as "a brutal, wild comedy of catastrophic proportions," Judy casts Cruise as the world’s most powerful man — grappling with the mess he’s made and racing to prove he can save humanity from a disaster of his own making. Existential crisis, meet high-stakes chaos.
The cast? Stacked. Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Emma D’Arcy, and John Goodman join Cruise in this fever dream of a film. With cinematography by Emmanuel Lubezki and a script co-written by Iñárritu’s Birdman team, this is auteur cinema with a ticking time bomb.
Filming wrapped in May 2025 after a whirlwind shoot in the UK. Warner Bros. has already locked in an October 2026 release, clearly betting big on Cruise’s dark comedy era. And let’s be honest — if anyone can laugh at the end of the world while running full speed toward it, it’s Tom.
