Animated 'Addams Family' Movie Adds 'Eighth Grade' Star Elsie Fisher
The buzzed-about star of "Eighth Grade," Elsie Fisher, has landed another role.
The actress will voice a character in the upcoming animated film "The Addams Family," THR reports. She'll provide the voice of Parker Needler, the daughter of the family nemesis, Margaux.
This isn't 15-year-old Fisher's first rodeo. She previously lent her voice to 2010's "Despicable Me" and its 2013 sequel. As in those films, her upcoming role will have her working alongside big-name actors. Her voice cast mates include Bette Midler (Grandmama), Charlize Theron (Morticia Addams), Allison Janney (Margaux Needler), Oscar Isaac (Oscar Addams), Chloe Grace Moretz (Wednesday Addams), Finn Wolfhard (Pugsley Addams), and Nick Kroll (Uncle Fester).
Fisher should be able to hold her own. She garnered critical acclaim with her work in "Eighth Grade," and she'll have a chance to do the same in "The Addams Family." The film was written by Matt Lieberman and is being co-directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan.
Production has already begun, and the film is scheduled to be released on Oct. 18, 2019.
