I go to Sriptslug (or your preferred script platform) to find produced scripts of ensemble feature(s) I love. Good luck, Oliver Milne Onward and upward.
It still has to serve the central narrative. Peter Jackson and his ex-wife Philipa write a version of the screenplay for each character then bring them all together.
If it’s an ensemble where they have to team-up, Tuckman’s 5 stages of team development is a good guide that can give rise to compelling and evolving inter-character relation development. The outline of these stages are: forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning. This is used to great effect in The Avengers.

I would keep track of each character's place in the story, and the overall theme you're trying to convey.

Make sure every character in the ensemble has an external goal and an internal problem that needs to be solved.

I have one if you'd like to see it-a comedy.

Watch 'Bad Day at Black Rock' - a masterful ensemble film.
