Cannes 2026 Preview: An All-Star, Auteur-Driven Lineup on the Croisette
A Cannes 2026 preview foresees a star‑studded, auteur‑driven lineup with new works from Pedro Almodóvar, Asghar Farhadi, Paweł Pawlikowski, Ryusuke Hamaguchi, Takashi Miike, Florian Zeller, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Luca von Trier and others. While some high‑profile projects (Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, Toy Story 5, The Mandalorian & Grogu) appear unlikely to bow at the Croisette, the festival is expected to host competitive premieres and potential Un Certain Regard entries, maintaining Cannes’ reputation for bold, director‑led premieres.
