Hollywood star Tom Cruise's film with Oscar-winning director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu will open in American theaters on October 2, 2026, according to studio Warner Bros.
The film marks the first English-language film Inarritu has done since the Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer "The Revenant" in 2015, according to entertainment news site Deadline.
The untitled project is about the "most powerful man in the world" who embarks on a "frantic mission to prove he is humanity's savior before the disaster he's unleashed destroys everything", according to the official logline.
For the movie, Inarritu is once again collaborating with his "Birdman" co-writers Alexander Dinelaris and Nicolas Giacobone, with Sabina Berman also sharing a screenwriting credit.
The film will have Sandra Huller, John Goodman, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde and Riz Ahmed in addition to Cruise.
Warner Bros has also revealed new release dates for a slate of big-budget films, including Matt Reeves'
"The Batman 2", which will come out in theatres on October 1, 2027. The movie, in which Robert Pattinson will reprise the role of the masked crusader, was initially supposed to hit theaters on October 2, 2026.
The studio has also swapped the openings of "Mickey 17" by Bong Joon Ho and "Sinners" by Ryan Coogler.
"Mickey 17", which stars Pattinson, moves from April 18, 2025, to March 7, 2025. "Sinners," which reunites Hollywood star Michael B Jordan, took the slot of April 18.
It's "Mickey 17," the first film from Bong Joon Ho since the multiple Oscar-winning Korean movie "Parasite."
Pattinson plays an "expendable," one of the many humans constantly sent to perform dangerous jobs on an ice planet that frequently gets him killed. But things get messy when one of the expendables survives a mission meant to kill him and gets entangled with the latest iteration of himself.
The film, an adaptation of a book by Edward Ashton, also features Steven Yeun, Toni Collette, Mark Ruffalo, and Naomi Ackie.
Written and directed by Coogler, "Sinners" centres on twin brothers – played by Jordan both — returning to their New Orleans hometown to start again only to discover that a far more terrible evil is waiting there to welcome them back.
The movie features Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo, and Jack O'Connell in the lead roles.
