Lashana Lynch (‘Captain Marvel’) signs up for ‘Matilda’ musical

It seemed that, after the excellent film directed and starred by Danny DeVito in 1996, it was impossible to adapt Matilda that I could overcome it. The novel of Roald Dahl, which has dazzled so many children (and not so children) since its publication, had found on the big screen a perfect replica of its magic and bad temper, but if we added songs to the equation the result could be great. The 2010 premiere of Matilda the Musical, with compositions of Tim Minchin and script of Dennis Kelly, proved it, and the show won several Olivier and Tony awards throughout its history.

It was a matter of time before someone wanted to make another film from the play, and finally the film adaptation of Matilda the Musical has been launched. Also, as collected The Hollywood Reporter, already has an actress for one of its main characters. Is about Lashana Lynch, who will play Miss Honey (the kind teacher who befriends Matilda and was played in the 96 film by Embeth Davidtz), and whom we have already seen as Maria Rambeau in Captain Marvel and someday we will see like new 007 in No time to die (its final release date is supposed to be next April 2).

The new Matilda film is produced by Working Title ahead of its premiere on Netflix and behind the cameras it has a large part of the theater team, repeating Minchin and Kelly, and being directed as it happened on the tables by Matthew Warchus. It is unknown who the remaining actors will be, and a release date has not been dropped either.
