Hayley Atwell cast in Disney’s Christopher Robin

August 3, 2017 by Ricky Church

Disney’s Christopher Robin film has just gained another cast member. According to Variety, Agent Carter’s Hayley Atwell has joined the project opposite Ewan McGregor.

Atwell will star as the wife of McGregor’s Christopher Robin. The film envisions the title character as an adult having lost the joy of life he felt in his youth until his old friend Pooh comes back to remind him of the magic of the Hundred Acre woods.

World War Z‘s Marc Forster is directing from a script written by Hidden Figures scribe Allison Schroeder. There is no word yet on when production will begin or when Disney plans to release Christopher Robin.

Winnie the Pooh was created by A.A. Milne in 1924, and his son Christopher Robin Milne was the basis for the character of Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh was based upon a Canadian black bear that had been donated to the London Zoo by her owner, Harry Coleburn, after World War I. Milne and his son saw the bear at the zoo so much Christopher named his teddy bear Winnie, becoming the inspiration for the character.
