John Goodman has been injured during the production of Warner Bros‘ and Legendary’s latest movie from director Alejandro González Iñárritu, which is filming in the UK.
A Warner Bros. Pictures spokesperson told us: “Actor John Goodman experienced a hip injury. He received immediate medical attention that led to a brief delay in shooting to allow him time to recover. The production resumes shooting next week following John’s full recovery.”
We understand the film was not shooting at the time of Goodman’s injury, but it did occur at UK studio Pinewood.
The untitled project is Oscar winner Iñárritu’s first English-language film since The Revenant. It is being produced and directed by Iñárritu, with a script he co-wrote in 2023 with Birdman co-writers Nicolas Giacobone and Alexander Dinelaris, along with Sabina Berman. Plot details are still under wraps.
Cast also includes Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons and Sophie Wilde.
This is Cruise’s first film since signing a deal to develop and produce theatrical films with Warner Bros. Discovery in January. His last project with the studio was Edge of Tomorrow a decade ago.
