Graham and Riseborough will play the roles of Matilda's parents, Mr. Wormwood and Mrs. Wormwood, in the new take on Roald Dahl's classic children's novel with Vee taking on the role of Mrs. Phelps. The trio join Lashana Lynch, Dame Emma Thompson and newcomer Alisha Weir in the movie. Alisha will play the title role, with Lashana portraying her kindly teacher Miss Honey and Emma playing the sadistic headmistress Miss Trunchbull.
