However, this time, he is set to surprise audiences with a completely different character in ‘Digger’, showcasing a new and unexpected side of his talent.On Tuesday, the actor released a new “retrospective trailer” for his upcoming black comedy “Digger,” directed by Oscar-winning director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu.

Not only does the newly released clip tease fans with some images from the upcoming film, it also celebrates Cruise’s incredible career that spans nearly five decades. The footage gives fans a look at Cruise as Digger Rockwell, a larger-than-life character said to be the strongest man in the world. Far from the action hero persona that has characterized much of his recent work, this role seems to place Cruise in a dark, unexpected and offbeat comedic world.
