Hayley Atwell joins Ewan McGregor in Disney’s Christopher Robin

Hayley Atwell (Agent Carter) is joining Ewan McGregor in Disney’s Christopher Robin.

It seems that this will be Disney’s live action version of Winnie the Pooh.

The film follows Robin (McGregor), the little boy from the “Winnie the Pooh” series, who is now all-grown-up and lost all sense of imagination. Pooh and his friends reenter Robin’s life to help him find it once again.

Atwell will play Robin’s wife.

Marc Forster (World War Z) is directing.

Atwell and Disney worked together for a while. She first appeared as Agent Carter in Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger. The character then appeared in the ABC show, which was sadly cancelled after two season, but Agent Carter has popped up in a few other Marvel movies and the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show.

Atwell also played Cinderella’s mother in Disney’s 2015 remake of Cinderella.
