Interesting pairing! Iñárritu always delivers visually stunning films, but I'm not sure about Cruise in this type of project. Hope he tones down the action hero persona for this one.

Iñárritu + Cruise + D'Arcy? That's an Oscar-bait combo if I ever saw one. The 2026 awards season just got interesting!

While I'm excited for this, I hope the story doesn't get overshadowed by Cruise's star power. Iñárritu's films usually have such depth, and I'd hate to see that compromised.
