Emma D'Arcy Returns to Film in Alejandro G Iñárritu’s New Project with Tom Cruise

English actor Emma D’Arcy, known for playing Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon, has just joined another major project! This time, they’re teaming up with action star Tom Cruise for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s new film.

According to Deadline, D’Arcy is joining a star-studded cast that includes Cruise, Sandra Hüller, John Goodman, Jesse Plemons, Sophie Wilde, Riz Ahmed, Pip Torrens, and Michael Stuhlbarg. Iñárritu co-wrote the script with Sabina Berman, Alexander Dinelaris Jr., and Nicolás Giacobone.

Not much is known about the plot, aside from a synopsis that reveals the film is about “the most powerful man in the world [who] embarks on a frantic mission to prove he is humanity’s savior before the disaster he’s unleashed destroys everything.”

This marks Iñárritu’s first English-language film since 2015’s The Revenant, which famously ended Leonardo DiCaprio’s Oscar drought, earning him the Academy Award for Best Actor after five previous nominations.

The film also marks D’Arcy’s return to the silver screen after five years. Their last film role was as Emma Hobday in the romantic drama Mothering Sunday, alongside Odessa Young and Josh O’Connor.
