John Goodman Injured on Tom Cruise Film Set
The film, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, is a highly anticipated project, with a talented cast and crew. Despite the injury to John Goodman, the production team is working to get back on track, with a focus on delivering a high-quality film to audiences in 2026.
Veteran actor John Goodman has suffered a hip injury while filming a new movie opposite Tom Cruise in England, causing a brief delay in production at Pinewood Studios in the UK. The 72-year-old actor received immediate medical attention and is expected to make a full recovery, allowing production to resume next week.
The film, directed by acclaimed director Alejandro González Iñárritu, also stars Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Sophie Wilde. This project marks Iñárritu's first English-language film since The Revenant, and Tom Cruise's first film with Warner Bros. Discovery since signing a deal in January 2024. Goodman is known for his work in TV shows like Roseanne and The Conners, as well as films like The Big Lebowski and Monsters Inc.
The incident occurred when Goodman slipped and fell, resulting in a hip injury, and was hospitalized. Despite the setback, production is expected to resume next week, with the film still slated for release on October 2, 2026. The movie, with a working title, also stars Tom Cruise, Jesse Plemons, and Riz Ahmed, and has been in production at Pinewood Studios in the UK.
John Goodman has other projects in preproduction, including Chili Finger and Smurfs, and is expected to make a full recovery from his injury. The film's production team is working to get back on schedule, with millions of dollars already invested in the project. The incident has caused a significant setback, but the team is hopeful that the film will still meet its anticipated release date.
