The Cannes Film Festival is back, and so is the excitement for the upcoming lineup and star-studded list of guests who will grace the event. The lineup was announced last month by Cannes delegate general Thierry Frémaux and president Iris Knobloch, revealing the films set to premiere this May. The first big name to join the main competition is Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme, featuring Hollywood A-listers like Benicio del Toro, Michael Cera, Tom Hanks, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Scarlett Johansson.
With that said, the actors are most likely to join the list of attendees who would grace the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival. Another film vying for the Palme d’Or is Ari Aster’s Eddington, featuring a star-studded ensemble of Emma Stone, Joaquin Phoenix, and Pedro Pascal.
British actor Josh O’Connor plays the lead role in competition films The Mastermind and The History of Sound. Additionally, Scarlett Johansson is also set to make her directorial debut at Cannes with Eleanor the Great, while Kristen Stewart’s The Chronology of Water also premieres in the same section.
