Notorious for playing heroes in just about every film he's been in, Tom Cruise is facing quite the kampf in his new role as a failed hitman hired to off Hitler in the Bryan Singer-helmed Valkyrie. So what's the problem with Tom Cruise -- who's saved the world again and again -- donning full military regalia and kicking some Nazi ass? That would be his eyepatch.

Stacked on top of his outlandish antics on Oprah and his affiliations to Scientology, the film's already gotten tagged as "the Tom Cruise eyepatch movie" within Hollywood, leading the film's distributors to scratch their heads over the best way to market the man. The solution? Since it's too late for re-shoots or a Valkyrie starring someone other than the diminutive champion of Xenu, new press materials play down the significance of Cruise and play up Singer's involvement in the feature. And both of his eyes are just fine, thanks.
