2018 has already been a great year for Tessa Thompson because she's starred in critically acclaimed movies like Annihilation and Sorry To Bother You as well as landing a lead role in Sony's new Men in Black movie. Now, it's been revealed that the actress has landed a lead role in Disney's planned Lady and the Tramp which is set to debut not in theaters but on the studio's planned streaming service. 

Thompson will star as Lady, while Doctor Strange and Avengers: Infinity War star Benedict Wong has signed on to play Bull, an English bulldog. Other recent casting additions include Kiersey Clemons (Dope) as Darling and Ashley Jensen (Extras) as a Scottish Terrier named Jackie, one of Lady’s closest friends. Justin Theroux (The Leftovers), meanwhile, is going to be voicing Tramp in the movie. 

So, it already has an impressive cast and two fantastic leads. Throw in the fact that Charlie Bean (The LEGO Ninjago Movie) will be at the helm and it definitely feels like the live-action adaptation of the 1955 classic is in good hands. What do you guys think of these latest casting additions? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below and stay tuned for more.

Not my first choice, but I'm curious to see how she does with her first voice acting gig. I like her as an actress based on what I've seen in CREED, THOR RAGNAROK, and SORRY TO BOTHER YOU (especially in CREED).

@demery - She's been pretty phenomenal in Westworld (although pretty much everyone is in that show).

This will be an interesting one, that's for sure. I'm wondering how much of this will be live-action and how much will be CGI.

@L0RDbuckethead - My question involves how the quality of the CG will turn out for the first film being made for Disney's new streaming service? Please let it not result in another SHOW DOGS!

@demery - All these live-action Disney re-imaginings are reportedly going to have huge budgets, so I don't think you have to worry about Lady and the Tramp looking like that haha.

A bi woman voicing a straight dog? This is an outrage she's not straight enough.

Remember people, its 2018, Disney needs to change the name of the title with the word "Tramp" bc you know that people will get offended, butthurt and their jimmies will be rustled, not to mention the feminists will have protests and start petitions against having the word Tramp in the title. We must keep this film PC now.

Hope she doesn’t play her with too much attitude. Wasn’t she nothing but a priss?
