    Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme is arriving sooner than you think, and I’m hugely excited for Michael Cera’s cameo


    Fear not Wes Anderson fans, the two-year drought is almost over, as the Oscar-winning filmmaker is returning with his next feature movie The Phoenician Scheme sooner than we thought. Landing a May 2025 theatrical release date, The Phoenician Scheme marks Anderson’s 12th feature packing his trademark ensemble cast, and an exciting newcomer that I’m particularly buzzing to see.

    Like clockwork, Anderson has reunited with Roman Coppola once again to co-create the story behind The Phoenician Scheme. And according to Variety, the distribution rights to the movie have been picked up by independent film studio Focus Features who, by now, is well-acquainted with the works of Anderson after releasing Moonrise Kingdom (2012), and his most recent movie Asteroid City (2023). The Phoenician Scheme will receive a limited release on May 30 in the US, before its wider release set for June 6.

    What gives Anderson’s movies their distinct edge is of course the traditional ensemble cast, and returning to the screen is a handful of familiar faces that have naturally become synonymous with the ‘Wes Anderson’ movie. As well as industry legends and longtime Anderson collaborators Tom Hanks, Scarlett Johansson, Jeffrey Wright, Bryan Cranston, and Benedict Cumberbatch, it’s safe to say that the addition of Michael Cera is one of the more interesting aspects of the cast whose charming awkwardness as an actor is the perfect jigsaw piece to fit into a Wes Anderson project.
