The film adaptation of Dan Brown's eponymous novel will be directed by Ron Howard, in which Hanks will play the lead character Robert Langdon.
In this latest instalment, Langdon 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 Langdon has ever faced.
Irrfan will portray Provost, the head of a shadowy group that becomes involved with Langdon, while Sy will play the leader of a disease prevention team.
Inferno will also feature Felicity Jones.
