Wes Anderson's follow-up to The French Dispatch is already well underway, with new cast members being announced on what feels like a daily basis. Today, Bryan Cranston, Liev Schreiber, Hope Davis and Jeffrey Wright have joined the expectedly stacked cast of the yet-to-be-titled film.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, they'll join Margot Robbie, Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansson, as well as Anderson regulars, Adrien Brody, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman and Tilda Swinton. Wright and Schreiber were also cast in Anderson's forthcoming Dispatch.

While most of the new film's details are being kept under wraps for now, we do know the project is currently being shot in Spain, though the movie itself is not actually set in Spain. Shooting is expected to wrap in September.

Meanwhile, The French Dispatch is expected to arrive in theatres on October 22 following its premiere at Cannes last month.
