Tom Cruise's co-star John Goodman suffers hip injury on film set, expected to return soon

Hollywood star John Goodman sustained an injury while filming his new movie with Tom Cruise in the United Kingdom.
The incident took place at the legendary Pinewood Studios, where the 72-year-old actor reportedly took a fall on set. According to TMZ, the injury was not related to a stunt but still resulted in a hurt hip. Fortunately, sources close to the production have confirmed that Goodman is recovering well and is expected to be back on set as early as next week.
The upcoming film, which remains untitled, is being directed by acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, a four-time Academy Award winner known for films like 'Birdman' and 'The Revenant.' The project features an all-star cast, including Hollywood action icon Tom Cruise, alongside Jesse Plemons, Michael Stuhlbarg, Sandra Hüller, and Riz Ahmed. Warner Bros. Pictures also confirmed Goodman’s injury in a statement, reassuring fans that his recovery is progressing smoothly.
While much of the film’s details remain under wraps, IMDb provides a brief synopsis, revealing that the story revolves around “the most powerful man in the world who inadvertently causes a disaster and then embarks on a mission to prove himself as the saviour of humanity.” Given Inarritu’s reputation for crafting thought-provoking and visually stunning films, anticipation for this project is already high.
Meanwhile, Tom was spotted on set, heading toward a helicopter, which has sparked speculation about what intense stunts he might be preparing for in this production. Cruise, known for pushing the limits with his daredevil action sequences, is also in the middle of filming the next 'Mission: Impossible' instalment, where he has already been seen hanging from a biplane mid-flight.
Goodman’s injury comes at a particularly difficult time for the actor. Earlier this year, he was among several celebrities who lost their homes in the devastating Pacific Palisades wildfire. According to Deadline, stars like Eugene Levy, Billy Crystal and Mandy Moore were also affected by the disaster.
