The film, which is an adaptation of Dan Brown's eponymous novel, will witness Ron Howard returning to the director's chair, and Mr Hanks will play the lead character Robert Langdon.
In this latest instalment, Robert finds himself in a hospital room in Venice as well as the target of a manhunt. With the help of Sienna, a nurse, and his knowledge of symbology, he will try to escape while they have to solve the most intricate riddle Robert has ever faced.
