Tom Cruise arrived at the Toreo Parque Central mall in Mexico City on Friday afternoon for a fan event ahead of the Mexican premiere of "Digger," his new film directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. The actor spent approximately three hours on the orange carpet signing posters, taking selfies, and speaking with press, wearing a maroon suit and sunglasses.
Director Alejandro González Iñárritu joined the event around 6:30 p.m., greeting fans who chanted "Sí se pudo" in reference to his eleven-year absence from Hollywood filmmaking. Iñárritu told El Universal he was impressed by the crowd size and enthusiasm, stating the film was made for young audiences.
“This film is made for you, it is very absurd and very urgent, but above all very human.”
"Digger" marks Iñárritu's first feature since 2015 and Cruise's first collaboration with the Oscar-winning director. The political satire casts Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an oil magnate who presents himself as a savior, targeting global political and corporate power structures. The film opens in Mexican theaters on Thursday.
