John Goodman Injures Hip, Film Shoot Delayed

Actor John Goodman sustained a minor hip injury while filming an untitled movie directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu and starring Tom Cruise at Pinewood Studios in the UK. A Warner Bros. spokesperson confirmed that Goodman received immediate medical attention, resulting in a two-day pause in production, but he is expected to return to set shortly as he recovers. The film, scheduled for release on October 2, 2026, features an ensemble cast that includes Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Jesse Plemons, and Michael Stuhlbarg, and revolves around a powerful man attempting to prove he is humanity's savior after causing a disaster. This project marks Iñárritu's first English-language film since 'The Revenant' and is part of a new deal between Cruise and Warner Bros. Goodman is well-known for his performances in films like 'Argo' and 'The Big Lebowski' as well as his roles in television shows such as 'Roseanne.' Despite the injury's seriousness being downplayed, at 72, any injury can pose significant risks for the actor.
