Netflix brings back fantasy cult as a musical – with a Marvel star

Judging by the trailer, Netflix’s musical will also follow Roald Dahl’s novel quite closely. There, young Matilda rebels (in the Netflix musical: Alisha Weir) with her classmates against the gloomy austerity at her school.

Netflix brought a lot of star power on board. Acting legend Emma Thompson (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) the bad headmistress will play Miss Trunchbull, Lashana Lynch (Captain Marvel) the good-natured teacher Miss Honey.
