The Cannes Film Festival plans to publish the list of films in the main competition on Thursday.
It is already known that "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga," the sequel to George Miller's cult film series, will be screened out of competition. The film is due to be presented in the presence of the Australian director and the film stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke.
The 77th edition of the festival, which runs from May 14 to 25, is set to open with "Le Deuxième Act" (The Second Act) by French director and musician Quentin Dupieux. The comedy starring Léa Seydoux and Vincent Lindon will also be screened out of competition.
"Horizon: An American Saga" by and starring Kevin Costner will also be presented out of competition. Costner is joined in the Western epic by Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington and Jena Malone.
This year's honorary award is expected to go to US director George Lucas.
The jury president is "Barbie" director Greta Gerwig. The 40-year-old is the first US director to chair the jury at the film festival and is also the youngest president of the jury since Sophia Loren, who took over the presidency in 1966 at the age of 31.
