While the film and the musical are based on the same source material, the two are very different, and the Netflix adaptation is already hinting at some differences from the musical. Matilda the Musical is an adaptation of the stage musical, rather than a reboot of the 1996 film. His rendition of the sleazy used car salesmen was unforgettable, as he talked down to his daughter, famously telling her “I’m smart, you’re dumb, I’m big, you’re small, I’m right, you’re wrong, and there’s nothing you can do about it!” DeVito not only acted in the 1996 adaptation of Matilda, but also produced, directed, and narrated the film as well. Graham has rather large shoes to fill, taking on the role that was previously portrayed by Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor/producer Danny DeVito. Stephen Graham ( Snatch) will take on the role of Mr. Wormwood, the self-absorbed neglectful mother who was previously portrayed by Cheers actress Rhea Perlman. Andrea Riseborough ( Birdman) will appear as Mrs. Lashana Lynch ( No Time to Die) will portray the wonderfully kind, warm, and insightful character, Miss Honey. We can feel the nostalgic fear washing over us already! We hope we get to hear Thompson say the classic Trunchbull line, “the apple never rots far from the tree” before throwing bold little Matilda into the chokey. Based on what we have seen so far, Thompson is doing the character justice, sneering under her tight bun as she strikes fear into the children of Crunchem Hall, just as Pam Ferris did in the 1996 film adaptation. Award-winning actress Emma Thompson ( Sense and Sensibility) will portray the ever-angry, glad to have never been a child, Miss Trunchbull.
This will be Weir’s first role in a children's movie, having previously acted in horror and thrillers such as the 2018 film Don’t Leave Home. Up-and-coming actress Alisha Weir takes on the titular role of Matilda Wormwood.
