We have been reporting on the possibility of these three actress joining Disney’s production of A Wrinkle in Time, which will be helmed by Ava DuVernay, but the trade still notes that the ladies are “in various stages of negotiations,” which means no one has signed on the dotted line at the moment.
Maybe now that they have a leading lady, they will fall in line.
THR breaks the casting news, while also noting that Storm Reid may be surrounded by the power trio of Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling, if casting deals work out.
