Director Wes Anderson has developed a reputation for filling his quirky and highly stylized films with big-name stars, often working with many of the same actors multiple times. As such, his newest film, The French Dispatch, boasts an impressive cast filled with familiar faces that help bring to life the story of the various final articles printed in the titular newspaper.

The film balances a mixture of famous A-listers such as Owen Wilson, up-and-coming stars like Timothée Chalamet, and frequent collaborators Bill Murray and Frances McDormand. With such a star-studded cast, audiences are bound to recognize the actors from some of their recent hits.

Léa Seydoux In No Time To Die (2021) – In Theaters Now

As No Time to Die brings the Daniel Craig era of James Bond to a close in this final chapter, Bond is torn between his spy service and the life he longs for with Dr. Madeleine Swann. Played by Léa Seydoux, Madeleine Swann is one of the best characters in No Time to Die.

After playing someone who fell in love with Bond and nearly got him to settle down, she will portray Simone, the muse of Moses Rosenthaler, an imprisoned artist, in The French Dispatch.

Benicio Del Toro In Sicario (2015) – Stream On Fubo

Throughout his career, Benicio del Toro has played eccentric and often morally questionable characters, making him an excellent choice to play Moses Rosenthaler, an artist who is locked away in prison for murder, in The French Dispatch.

While he has played criminals in the past, one of his most notable roles as a killer came in Sicario. The film follows an FBI team’s efforts to bring down a dangerous leader of a Mexican drug cartel. Del Toro plays Alejandro, a brutal but effective assassin.

Tony Revolori In Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) – Stream on FXNow

Tony Revolori is becoming a regular in Wes Anderson movies after starring in The Grand Budapest Hotel and now returning for The French Dispatch. He plays the younger version of Benecio del Toro’s character, Moses Rosenthaler, the incarcerated artist.

He is perhaps best known for his work in the MCU as bully Flash Thompson in Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: Homecoming. While he is not always the most likable character in the movie, he is a funny side star that adds to every scene he is in.

Adrien Brody In Midnight In Paris (2011) – Stream On IMDb TV

While actor Adrien Brody is mostly known for his dramatic roles, he has been able to show his quirkier side in his collaborations with Wes Anderson. In The French Dispatch, he plays shady art dealer Julien Cadazio, who tries to exploit Moses Rosenthaler’s work.

It is not, however, the first time that he has played an eccentric character in the art world as he previously portrayed Salvidor Dali in Midnight in Paris. By virtue of being a surrealist, the character marches to the beat of his own drum and sees the world through his own lens.

Frances McDormand In Nomadland (2020) – Stream On Hulu

Actress Frances McDormand has been in the middle of a career resurgence lately, capped by her leading role in the Best Picture winner Nomadland. In the film, she plays Fern, a blue-collar woman who lives in her van and joins a community of nomads.

McDormand brings her talent to The French Dispatch as Lucinda Krementz. Her character is the primary focus of one of the film’s segments. She is a journalist who reports on the “Chessboard Revolution,” a student protest in Ennui.

Timothée Chalamet In Dune (2021) – Stream On HBO Max

As part of journalist Lucinda Krementz’s investigation into the “Chessboard Revolution,” in The French Dispatch, she encounters an influential student involved in the protests named Zeffirelli, who is played by Timothée Chalamet.

Audiences can also see the young actor in the newly released Dune. He plays the complex and conflicted Paul, the ducal heir to House Atreides and possible messiah figure of the galaxy. Paul is one of the best characters in Dune, thanks in part to the strong performance by Chalamet.

Tilda Swinton In Trainwreck (2015) – Stream On Fubo

Few actors are versatile and chameleon-like as Tilda Swinton. The immensely talented actress proves this with her role in the romantic comedy Trainwreck. She is barely recognizable as she plays Dianna, Amy’s eccentric boss at the magazine for which she writes.

In The French Dispatch, Swinton once again plays a member of the press, though taking a different approach to the character this time. She plays J.K.L. Berensen, a writer for The French Dispatch who reports on the story involving Moses Rosenthaler.

Jeffrey Wright In Westworld (2016-Present) – Stream On HBO Max

Jeffrey Wright has made a career out of playing thoughtful and intelligent side characters in various movies and television shows. One of his most high-profile roles is as head programmer Bernard Lowe in the television series Westworld.

In The French Dispatch, Wright gets the opportunity to play a far more human character as food journalist Roebuck Wright. In a segment of the film, he recounts the story of a memorable evening in which he attended a dinner party gone horribly wrong at a police officer’s home.

Owen Wilson In Loki (2021-Present) – Stream On Disney+

Owen Wilson has been a collaborator with Wes Anderson since the beginning, appearing in many of the director’s films. He once again reteams with Anderson on The French Dispatch, playing the role of Herbsaint Sazerac, one of the writers for The French Dispatch.

Wilson made a splash with fans earlier this year with his role in the Disney+ show Loki. As TVA agent Mobius M. Mobius, Wilson was easily the breakout star of Loki. His simple and endearing character proved to be the perfect partner in crime for the god of mischief.

Bill Murray In On The Rocks (2020) – Stream On Apple TV+

Bill Murray’s numerous appearances in Wes Anderson films have helped the legendary actor transition into the more understated and lightly dramatic latter stage of his career. Fittingly, The French Dispatch is held together by Murray’s character Arthur Howitzer Jr.’s life and final wish.

Murray recently reteamed with Sofia Coppola, the other director who has been impactful in his career shift, on the film On the Rocks. He plays Felix Keane, a playboy and art dealer who helps his daughter spy on her husband to find out if he is cheating on her.
