Misty Copeland to Star in the New Nutcracker Movie
No one is more perfect for the role.
By Isis Briones
This month may be the peak of summer, but as you soak up all that sun, Misty Copeland will already have you wishing for the holidays. Disney announced earlier this year that the studio is working on a new The Nutcracker and the Four Realms movie and though there has yet to be a release date, Misty announced herself as a member of the cast in the most adorable way.
The boundary-breaking ballet dancer posted an Instagram photo today of her script and guaranteed fans with a hashtag that there's more to come. The storyline is centered around a girl who gets transported to a fantasy world of toys, where she meets the Nutcracker, but Deadline reports that Misty will star as the lead ballerina in the movie's only dance number. Dear John and Safe Haven's Lasse Hallstrom is set to direct the film, so there's no doubt he'll bring plenty of magic to the screen, too. It'll be exciting to see who else will be part of the iconic holiday production.
