Festival organisers called Oscar winner Irons "one of the best-loved actors among film fans the world over," citing 'The Mission', 'Dead Ringers' and 'Reversal of Fortune' as just a few of his memorable screen moments that will be remembered during the festival, parts of which are broadcast live on national television, according to Hollywood Reporter.
Organisers also praised Mortensen's screen career, from his breakout role as an Amish farmer in 'Witness' to the blockbuster 'Lord of the Rings'.
Irons and Mortensen will join French actress Isabelle Huppert at the North African festival, where she will serve as president of this year's jury, the role Martin Scorcese took on last year.
Remaining jurors and the competition selection will be announced soon.
The Marrakech Film Festival runs from December 5-13.
