Emma Thompson has pulled out of a role in a large-scale animated film after former Pixar chief John Lasseter joined the production.
Thompson had been due to voice a role in Luck, produced by Skydance Animation, but reportedly left the film after Skydance controversially hired Lasseter to head its animation division.
The Guardian has contacted Thompson’s representatives for confirmation and comment.
It is directed by Kung Fu Panda 3’s Alessandro Carloni.
