Before the screening began, Cruise thanked the royal family for their support of British cinema.
“We want to thank Their Highnesses for supporting this event. We love them and greatly appreciate what they do for the arts in this country and around the world,” said the actor.
Iñárritu, in turn, praised Cruise for his work on set.
“Every day, he brought incredible generosity and positive energy to the set. His enthusiasm is contagious—sometimes even too much,” joked the director.
In *Digger*, Cruz plays oil tycoon Digger Rockwell—the most powerful man in the world. After an environmental disaster that he himself caused, the protagonist tries to prove to humanity that he is capable of saving it.
*Digger* will be released internationally on September 30.
