The Main Competition, the most prestigious section of the festival, will include films by Anderson (“Asteroid City”), Haynes (“May December”), Glazer (“The Zone of Interest”), Kore-eda (“Monster”), Ceylan (“On Dry Pastures”) and Rohrwacher (“The Chimera”).

Cannes had already confirmed four high-profile films to premiere at the festival. Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” will be screened out of competition on May 20, while James Mangold’s “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” the latest installment in the franchise launched in 1982 by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas. , a screen will also be projected in a space out of competition.
French actress-director Maïwenn will have the opening night movie with “Jeanne du Barry,” starring Johnny Depp in his first film since his court battle with Amber Heard.

Additional films are typically added to the Cannes lineup in the weeks leading up to the festival. The films were chosen from more than 2,000 submissions, according to Fremaux.
