The 2025 Cannes Film Festival hosted the world premiere of The Phoenician Scheme at the Grand Théâtre Lumière on Sunday (May 18) in Cannes, France.
The latest film from director Wes Anderson features a star-studded cast ensemble, following his Asteroid City in 2023 and The French Dispatch in 2021.
Stars of the film, including Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Benicio del Toro, Rupert Friend, Mia Threapleton, Jeffrey Wright, Benedict Cumberbatch, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Antonia Desplat, and Bill Murray, were all in attendance.
Eva Longoria, Stella Maxwell, Alexander Skarsgard, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Charlotte Le Bon, Julianne Moore, Edward Norton, Shauna Robertson, Shia LaBeouf, Leila Slimani, Alba Rohrwacher, Jeremy Strong, and Halle Berry were all in attendance as well.
Here’s a plot summary of the black comedy, via Deadline: The Phoenician Scheme follows “the complex relationship between the immensely wealthy and powerful armaments and aviation magnate Zsa-zsa Korda (Benicio del Toro), considered one of Europe’s richest men, and his only daughter, Sister Liesl (Mia Threapleton), a nun. Despite having ten children, Korda designates Sister Liesl as his sole heir, a decision that places them both squarely in the crosshairs of scheming tycoons, foreign terrorists, and relentless assassins as Korda ventures into a new business endeavor.”
The film will first have a limited release in theaters on May 30 before expanding to a wide release on June 6. Click here to watch the trailer!
