Sophie McShera The Latest Actress To Join The Cast Of Kenneth Branagh's CINDERELLA
Downton Abbey's Sophie McShera joins Holliday Grainger as the latest addition to Kenneth Branagh's (THOR) live-action remake of Cinderella.
Cinderella has its titular character (Lily James), a handsome prince (Richard Madden) and a wicked stepmother (Cate Blanchett), but Downton Abbey actress Sophie McShera has now joined Holliday Grainger as one of the wicked stepsisters. As The Hollywood Reporter points out, they will play: "Drisella and Anastasia, who are constantly ridiculing Cinderella, the orphan girl who with the help of a fairy godmother and some magic overcomes challenges to find a prince and true love." The live-action remake - which is set to be helmed by THOR's Kenneth Branagh - is shaping up to be extremely impressive so far and we will be sure to keep you updated with any further casting announcements. What do you guys think of the cast so far?
