Francis Ford Coppola’s next epic is here, and he’s assembled quite the cast to bring it to life. And chances are you’ll recognize quite a few of those faces.

Now in theaters, ‘Megalopolis’ is a modern retelling of the Roman Empire, starring Adam Driver as the man who tries to build it. Cesar Catalina (driver) has built a vision for a utopia with a brand new element he discovered and won a Nobel Prize for. But not everyone wants him to succeed.

It’s a pretty thick plot, so we’re not going to pick it apart here. For now, we’re just going to help you put some of those faces on the screen.

Here are all the major players in Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘Megalopolis’.

Cesar Catiline (Adam Driver)

Cesar is the architect at the center of “Megalopolis” who hopes to build a, well, megalopolis. He is played by Adam Driver, who fans will recognize as Kylo Ren from the ‘Star Wars’ sequel trilogy, or from ‘Marriage Story’, ‘Girls’, ‘House of Gucci’ and many others.

Julia Cicero (Nathalie Emmanuel)

Julia is the daughter of Mayor Cicero, who should hate Cesar, but falls in love with him. She is played by ‘Game of Thrones’ star Nathalie Emmanuel, who also played Ramsey in the ‘Fast & Furious’ franchise.

Mayor Cicero (Giancarlo Esposito)

Franklyn Cicero is the mayor of New Rome, who staunchly opposes Cesar’s plan for a megalopolis. He is played by Giancarlo Esposito, star of Breaking Bad and The Mandalorian.

Wow Platinum (Aubrey Plaza)

Wow Platinum is a morally corrupt journalist who schemes to get what she wants. She’s played by “Parks and Recreation” star Aubrey Plaza, who had a lot going on at the moment. In addition to ‘Megalopolis’, she also stars in ‘Agatha All along’ on Disney+ and in Megan Park’s film ‘My Old Ass’.

Clodio Pulcher (Shia LaBeouf)

Clodio is Cesar’s corrupt cousin, who just wants to be taken seriously by people. He is played by Shia LaBeouf, in his first on-screen role in two years. In 2020, he was sued by his ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs for sexual battery, assault and infliction of emotional distress, and will appear in court in October. LaBeouf previously starred in the first three “Transformers” films, “Holes,” “Peanut Butter Falcon” and more.

Hamilton Crassus III (Jon Voight)

Hamilton Crassus is Cesar’s uncle and he controls the banks. Unfortunately, he is easy to manipulate. He is played by Jon Voight, star of “Deliverance” and “Anaconda.”

Fundi Romaine (Laurence Fishburne)

Fundi is both Cesar’s driver and the keeper of the story of ‘Megalopolis’, which is told everywhere. That booming voice, of course, belongs to “The Matrix,” “Man of Steel” and “John Wick” star Laurence Fishburne.

Jason Zanderz (Jason Schwartzman)

Jason Zanderz is the mayor’s right-hand man and ironically shares his name with the actor who plays him: Jason Schwartzman. You may have seen Schwartzman play a young Stanley Tucci in ‘The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes’ or as Gideon Graves in ‘Scott Pilgrim vs. theWorld’.

Vesta Freshwater (Grace VanderWaal)

Vesta Sweetwater is a young girl who wants to marry as a virgin. She’s played by “StarGirl” star and musician Grace VanderWaal, so of course she’s also a singer in “Megalopolis.”

Constance Crassus Catilina (Talia Shire)

Constance is Cesar’s mother, who is almost always disappointed. But he always wants to please her. She is played by Talia Shire, best known for her role as Adrian in the ‘Rocky’ franchise. She also played the role of Connie Corleone Rizzi in Coppola’s ‘The Godfather’.

Teresa Cicero (Kathryn Hunter)

Teresa Cicero is the mayor’s wife and is a little more open to deviating from tradition, so she encourages him to be the same. She is played by Kathryn Hunter, who recently starred in ‘Poor Things’ and ‘The Front Room’.

Clodia Pulcher (Chloe Fineman)

Clodia Pulcher is Clodio’s sister – and his lover? It’s a strange time. You’ll probably recognize her right away, as she’s played by “SNL” star Chloe Fineman.

Nush ‘The Fixer’ Berman (Dustin Hoffman)

In case his name doesn’t give it away, Nush “The Fixer” Berman is the fixer for Mayor Cicero. He takes care of what needs to be done, but he is always in the background. He is played by acting legend Dustin Hoffman, who fans will recognize from ‘Kramer vs. Kramer’, ‘Hook’, ‘Meet the Fockers’ and many more.
