Tom Cruise returns to Venice to film Mission Impossible 7

Tom Cruise might be tiny.

But the satire certainly isn’t in short supply ahead of the first ever Spitting Image stage show.

The Hollywood star will be lampooned for his height alongside Meghan and Harry, Greta Thunberg and a host of British royals and politicians who have been given a comical makeover for their theatre debuts.

diots Assemble: Spitting Image Saves the World will see Cruise tasked by King Charles with saving Great Britain, while Miss Thunberg performs a duet with Stormzy as Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, who has a bat on his shoulder, watch on from their premium seats in the stalls.

Jacob Rees Mogg is depicted as a green praying mantis, complete with his signature glasses and comb over, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s nose and ears are mocked for their size, and Michael Gove’s face has undergone a phallic makeover.

Suella Braverman’s puppet bears a striking resemblance to Ozzy Osbourne with black hair and gothic make-up.

Images also show a topless Putin in leather cuffs and tattooed with the words ‘THUG LIFE’ on his chest, Adele before and after her weight loss, a laughing Nigel Farage wearing a ‘Come on England’ apron and a snarling Tyson Fury.

A team of 12 puppeteers will also bring to life US singer Taylor Swift, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, football manager Jürgen Klopp, and Ru Paul of Drag Race fame.

A tag line in the trailer reads: ‘Any resemblance to persons living or dead is kind of the point. Story may change due to events that keep changing.’

Original Spitting Image co-creator, Roger Law, is behind the production alongside a tour de force of comedy writing talent including Al Murray, Matt Forde and Sean Foley.

Foley, the show’s director, recently revealed that the team had to scrap two scripts and rewrite a third after Boris Johnson was evicted from No 10 and the Queen died.

‘We started in the summer with a show we’d written called The Liar King, and it was all about Boris Johnson,’ he said.
