A new Wes Anderson film has just dropped! In this quirky espionage black comedy, a wealthy businessman, played by Benicio del Toro, is forced to team up with his estranged daughter, a nun portrayed by Mia Threapleton, to pursue his lifetime project while fending off those trying to dismantle his empire. Several of Anderson's trusted collaborators return, including Scarlett Johansson, reprising her role after Asteroid City, and Benedict Cumberbatch, who starred in Anderson's short film The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. We are getting another dose of eccentric characters and stunning visual symmetry this year.
