Scarlett Johansson's directorial debut Eleanor the Great to premiere at Cannes Film Festival

Scarlett Johansson's feature directorial debut Eleanor the Great will premiere at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival in May. Cannes bosses unveiled the official selection for the 2025 edition on Thursday, revealing that the Avengers actress will make her debut as a director during the prestigious French festival. Eleanor the Great stars June Squibb and tells the story of a 90-year-old Floridian woman who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a 19-year-old student when she moves to New York City. The film was not selected for the official competition and will be screened in the festival's Un Certain Regard section instead.
