The makers of Tom Cruise's upcoming film 'Digger' have released a new promotional video featuring the actor in his character, Digger Rockwell, ahead of Cruise's appearance during the FIFA World Cup 2026 closing ceremony at the New York-New Jersey Stadium.

In the video shared on Sunday, Cruise appears as 'Digger Rockwell' and delivers a message referring to some of football's biggest names, including Pele, Diego Maradona, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

In the video, Cruise aka Digger Rockwell, says, "You want to know what separates a legend from everybody else? Well, it ain't luck. It ain't even speed. Yeah, it's control. The greats, Pele, Maradona, Cristiano, Messi... they don't hell chase the ball. The ball answers to them." "For me, Digger. I play with a much, much bigger ball, and I don't play just to win, I play to dominate. Woo. Woo. See now we legends, we can make you believe just about anything. Even that gravity doesn't exist. Ain't that right, Maggie? Ole, ole, ole, ole, ole," he adds.
