Mr. Wormwood — Danny DeVito in 1996 and Stephen Graham in 2022
Mrs. Wormwood — Rhea Perlman in 1996 and Andrea Riseborough in 2022
Mrs. Phelps — Jean Speegle Howard in 1996 and Sindhu Vee in 2022


Lavender — Kiami Davael in 1996 and Rei Yamauchi Fulker in 2022

First one is way better
Why does the girls look like boys? Help this make sense on how this is better or like the first movie. Even the boy actually looks like his gender. The pony tail looks terrible. I understand trying to make a diverse movie but not where it looks like chaos. Just my opinion on my favorite movie of all times
