Let’s go back to middle school. Like many I was awkward, oblivious to what the “cool” kids were into, and reading every book on the library shelves. Enter Madeleine L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time. Her iconic book is the tale of similarly awkward Meg Murry and her younger brother Charles Wallace. Despite having genius physicists for parents, the duo are typecast as dumb. Misunderstood and lonely after their father’s mysterious disappearance, Meg is full of self-doubt. This is something so many of us can relate to, especially during those tender tween/teen years.
With the companionship of Calvin, Meg and Charles Wallace are guided through time and space by three celestial guides through wrinkles in time in an effort to find Mr. Murry and defeat It, an evil force taking over the universe. Meg’s quest is one of self-discovery while simultaneously being a rescue effort for her missing father. Meg must be a warrior to defeat the darkness.
I was pumped when I heard the news that Disney was going to take on this beloved story from my youth. And then the casting announcements started coming in. Mindy Kaling as Mrs. Who, Reese Witherspoon as Mrs. Whatsit, and Oprah as Mrs. Which. Oprah, you guys. Oprah.
In a tale including a young girl’s woes with fitting in, the inclusive cast is quite fitting. Director Ava DuVernay with screenwriter Jennifer Lee and producer Catherine Hand bring a strong female lead to the film. Plus, the diverse cast brings added dimension to the film. We can call that the 6th dimension. A Wrinkle in Time stars Oprah Winfrey as Mrs. Which, Reese Witherspoon as Mrs. Whatsit, Mindy Kaling as Mrs. Who, Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Mrs. Murry, Michael Pena as Red, with Storm Reid as Meg Murry. The cast also includes Zach Galifianakis as The Happy Medium and Chris Pine as Mr. Murry.

I’ve been trying to re/reread the series prior to the release, but I’ve only made it through A Swiftly Tilting Planet. Mom life. Despite being decades old, the books are so relevant. Take book #3. A dictator with the nuclear power is threatening to end the world, the reality that we are all dependent upon each other. So perfect for these times. In between using these fun coloring sheets, I may have to race through the rest of the series!
If you’re new to the book, you’re in for such a treat. Watch this trailer to get to know the diverse cast in Disney’s A Wrinkle in Time.
