Actor John Goodman injured himself on set with Tom Cruise and had to go to hospital due to a hip injury.
Filming was briefly interrupted but, according to a spokesperson, will resume next week as soon as Goodman is fully recovered.
The as yet untitled film by director Alejandro González Iñárritu is scheduled for release in 2026.
Tom Cruise (62) is known for often performing his daredevil stunts himself. And John Goodman is not Tom Cruise. It has now been revealed that the 72-year-old actor was injured during filming.
However, the accident did not occur during a stunt, but Goodman fell on set and suffered a hip injury.
The Sun" was the first to report on the incident. There was talk of a "horror accident" involving a "top star". Now a Warner Bros. spokesperson confirmed to People magazine that it was Goodman.
Tom Cruise is part of a new movie, during the filming of which John Goodman was injured.

The plan is to resume filming next week. This will take place after Goodman's full recovery.
