Selma filmmaker Ava DuVernay is back behind the camera. A Wrinkle in Time is DuVernay’s adaptation of the beloved Madeleine L’Engle novel. Production starts on November 2nd, and Disney has now confirmed the entire ensemble cast.
Leading the charge in an inspired bit of casting is newcomer Storm Reed as Meg Murry, but DuVernay’s ensemble is also filled out by plenty of familiar faces:
- Oprah Winfrey as Mrs. Which
- Reese Witherspoon as Mrs. Whatsit
- Mindy Kaling as Mrs. Who
- Chris Pine as Mr. Murry
- Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Mrs. Murry
- Zach Galifianakis as The Happy Medium
- André Holland as Principal Jenkins
- Levi Miller as Calvin
- Deric McCabe as Charles Wallace
- And Bellamy Young, Rowan Blanchard, and Will McCormack in unspecified roles.
“Since Day One, this experience has shimmered with the promise and possibility, the passion and power that only great stories offer,” said DuVernay. “And Madeline L’Engle’s book is a great story indeed. A cool, quirky tale of an imperfect girl on an otherworldly expedition that has been praised and banned, dissected and celebrated the world over for more than 50 years. On behalf of all the filmmakers, artists and craftspeople in our ‘Wrinkle in Time’ family, we are genuinely thrilled by and truly grateful for the opportunity to make this film together.”
First published in 1962, L’Engle’s novel has sold more than 23 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 35 languages.
