Lashanna Lynch signs to play Miss Honey in Matilda musical film for Netflix

While fans are still waiting to see Lashanna Lynch and Daniel Craig in the new James Bond film No Time To Die, Lynch has found her next role.

The 33-year-old actress is in final talks to star in Netflix’s musical film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s Matilda, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The production has yet to find the young actress to play the main character yet and there is no indication when filming can begin.

New Role: While fans are still waiting to see Lashanna Lynch and Daniel Craig in the new James Bond film No Time To Die, Lynch has found her next role.

The musical follows a precocious 5-year-old girl who discovers she has telekinetic powers, which she uses to protect her friends and turn the tide on bullies.

Lynch plays Miss Honey, described as a “kind teacher who encourages Matilda and her gifts.”

While Matilda has yet to be chosen, Ralph Fiennes was committed to playing Mrs. Trunchbull, continuing a tradition of male characters representing the director.

The character was portrayed by a female in the 1996 film adaptation, with Pam Ferris taking on the role, but the musical still featured a male actor like Trunchbull, including Bertie Cavell, Bryce Ryness, Craige Els, along with Craig Bierko even stepping in as a replacement on Broadway.

The role of Miss Honey also represents a big change, with the role played by white women.

Embeth Davidtz portrayed the Professor in the 1996 film adaptation, with the roles played by Lauren Ward, Jennifer Bowles, and Carly Thoms in the musical.

The Netflix musical will be directed by Matthew Warchus, who was the helm of the musical.

It will work from a screenplay adapted by original musical playwright Dennis Kelly, with Tim Minchin returning to provide original music and lyrics.

The musical debuted with a 12-week trial run at the Royal Shakespeare Company in November 2010, before its West End debut in November 2011 and its Broadway debut in April 2013.
