Netflix’s Matilda The Musical features Emma Thompson as Miss Trunchbull and fans can’t get over it. When the trailer for the movie released yesterday, a chorus of viewers repeated the same thing. “I didn’t even recognize her!” Well, that’s the power of Hollywood-level makeup and costuming. But, the people over at the Matilda set deserve and extra shoutout for rendering Thompson this way. As this is a musical, there will be other surprises. Fans were pleased to see Captain Marvel‘s Lashana Lynch as Miss Honey in the feature as well. Check out some of the best jokes about the new Miss Trunchbull right here.
