The Wonderful Story Of Henry Sugar

Like many filmmakers of his stature, Wes Anderson is known for working with many of the same actors over and over again — most famously with Bill Murray. Other familiar faces include Ed Norton, Jason Schwartzman, Jeff Goldblum, Adrien Brody, Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, and more. But while “The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar” includes at least one other recurring collaboration with an actor he’s worked with previously, the film sets itself apart from the rest of the bunch by starring a trio of very well-known newcomers: stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Ben Kingsley, and Dev Patel. Rounding out the cast is Richard Ayoade, Rupert Friend, and another Wes Anderson regular in Ralph Fiennes. Netflix lists the cast as playing multiple parts, suggesting a link between various sections of the film that may cover other short stories, as well. Cumberbatch will star as Henry Sugar and Max Engleman. Kingsley will portray the character who can see without the use of his eyes, Imdad Khan, along with another named Croupier. And Patel stars as Dr. Chatterjee and John Winston. Ayoade plays another doctor by the name of Marshal and another character named Yogi.
