Wes Anderson to direct Roald Dahl's The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, starring Benedict Cumberbatch

Wes Anderson will be directing Roald Dahl's classic The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar for Netflix starring Benedict Cumberbatch. His previous Dahl adaptation was the 2009 hit, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, starring George Clooney, Willem Dafoe and Jason Schwartzman.

Now, he'll be directing Benedict Cumberbatch, who will be playing Sugar in the new film. The compilation of short stories, which is a mix of reality and fiction, includes tales about how Dahl became a writer.

Cumberbatch is currently basking the success of his role as Phil Burbank in Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog and was recently seen opposite Tom Holland in Sony's Spider-Man: No Way Home. 

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar is set to start filming in London soon. Cumberbatch also has Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness coming out this year.
