In a Nov. 1 press release, Disney also announced André Holland as Principal Jenkins, Levi Miller as Calvin, and Deric McCabe as Charles Wallace. A trio of actors -- Bellamy Young, Rowan Blanchard, and Will McCormack -- have also been added to that cast.

There are plenty of other quirky characters that still need to be cast, so look for additional exciting announcements in the weeks ahead. There's no official release date yet for "A Wrinkle in Time," but it's currently expected in theaters sometime in 2018.
