Wes Anderson is teaming up once again with longtime collaborator Roman Coppola and British comedian-actor Richard Ayoade for his next film project. Ayoade, who stars in Anderson’s latest movie The Phoenician Scheme, will also be part of the creative team for this upcoming project.

During a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival on Monday, Anderson hinted at the collaboration but didn’t share many details about the new film. The event followed the premiere of The Phoenician Scheme, which screened in competition at Cannes on Sunday night.

The press room was packed as Anderson and a large portion of his cast turned up to speak about the film. Among those joining him on stage were Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Jeffrey Wright, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend, and Richard Ayoade. Notably, Bill Murray — a frequent Anderson collaborator — was also present, though he chose to sit with the audience. As Anderson and the cast entered, Murray stood and applauded, leading a warm welcome from the crowd.

Anderson’s sense of humor was on display when asked about recent comments by former U.S. President Donald Trump suggesting potential film tariffs. “I’m not an expert in that area of economics, but a 100 percent tariff?” he said. “It sounds like he’s just taking all the money. What do we get? Can you even hold up movies in customs? I’d like to know the details before I give an official answer.”

The Phoenician Scheme received a modest yet respectful six-minute standing ovation after its premiere. Critics described the film as a more emotionally resonant return to form for Anderson, reminiscent of his earlier works like Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Moonrise Kingdom. One review noted, “This won’t convert Anderson’s harshest critics, but it may win back those who felt disconnected from his recent, more stylized efforts.”

For fans of Anderson’s unique style, the prospect of a new film co-written with Coppola and starring Ayoade is something to look forward to — even if the details remain under wraps for now.
