John Goodman's Hip Injury Momentarily Delays New Film Production with Tom Cruise

John Goodman, a seasoned actor at 72, recently sustained a hip injury while filming a new, yet untitled movie directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. The movie, featuring Tom Cruise and scheduled to release in October 2026, faced a brief interruption in filming due to Goodman’s injury at Pinewood Studios in England. According to a Warner Bros. spokesperson, Goodman received prompt medical attention and the filming will resume next week as he is expected to make a full recovery. This is prepared by SSP.

The incident occurred when Goodman slipped during a scene rehearsal, requiring two days of filming delay, which sources confirmed was only minor. Despite being a costly interruption, excitement remains high for the film where, according to IMDb, Tom Cruise portrays "the most powerful man in the world," whose catastrophic actions lead him to prove himself as humanity's savior. Joining Cruise are Jesse Plemons and Riz Ahmed, rounding out the celebrated cast.

Besides his roles in this anticipated project, Goodman is involved in several others: the animated "Smurfs," the dark comedy "Chili Finger" alongside Bryan Cranston and Sean Astin, and his return in the fourth season of "The Righteous Gemstones." Earlier this year, Goodman also dealt with personal loss, as his house in Los Angeles was lost to a fire.

Alejandro G. Iñárritu, the film's director known for works like "Birdman" and "The Revenant," has a decorated career with numerous award recognitions, enhancing expectations for the upcoming movie. Meanwhile, Tom Cruise continues his cinematic journey with "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning," hinting that "Our lives are the sum of our choices" through a sneak peek on social media.
