Just a few months after landing Christopher Robin‘s Marc Forster to helm the film, Lionsgate’s White Bird: A Wonder Story has begun building its cast as Oscar winner Helen Mirren (Hobbs & Shaw) has signed on to join the cast.
“I am deeply honored to have Helen Mirren join us on this journey,” Forster said in a statement.
White Bird: A Wonder Story is the kind of movie that the world needs now and it’s a thrill to have these incredible actors bringing to life this story of compassion, empathy, kindness, and hope.”
Alongside Mirren, who joins previously cast Emmy winner Gillian Anderson (Sex Education), the cast has also seen the additions of Ariella Glaser, Bryce Gheisar and Orlando Schwerdt.
