Tom Cruise to Star in Inarritu’s Film, Aiming for Consecutive Oscar Wins

Tom Cruise is set to star in the latest film by acclaimed director Alejandro González Iñárritu, who has won the Academy Award for Best Director two years in a row, according to a report by Deadline.

 

This project, developed by Warner Bros. and Legendary Entertainment, marks Iñárritu’s first English-language film since his 2015 hit “The Revenant.” There is considerable anticipation whether Cruise will earn his first Academy Award through this collaboration.

 

Details of the plot are being kept under wraps, with the exception that it is an original story written by Iñárritu himself. The director has been meeting with actors recently, and Cruise is reportedly the first among them.

“Cruise has been involved in franchise projects such as the ‘Mission: Impossible’ series and ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ for the past decade, but he has been eager to work with auteurs. When he learned that Iñárritu was developing his next studio project, he immediately moved to arrange a meeting. After the meeting, Cruise became enthusiastic about the film role,” a journalist from a women’s magazine said.
