Disney Confirms Key Casting for A Wrinkle in Time

Via a twitter conversation, Disney confirmed that Oprah, Reese Witherspoon, and Mindy Kaling will play the Mrs W’s, the three otherworldy beings, or guardian angels, who help Meg and Charles Wallace find their father. Storm Reid (already an accomplished actress at 13) will play Meg, and she’s amazing!

With Ava DuVernay (Selma, The 13th) directing, and a script by Jennifer Lee (Frozen), this film adaptation is breaking new ground. What a wonderful extension of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic text.
