It’s Helen Mirren as you’ve never seen her – looking mad as a hatter and loving it – in these brand new images for Disney‘s The Nutcracker And The Four Realms.
Based on the beloved ballet, the film follows Clara, – played by Twilight star McKenzie Foy – who is looking for a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother.
Unfortunately the key disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world that Clara is forced to enter, where she meets all manner of strange and wonderful creatures, including a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets, and Mirren’s tyrant Mother Ginger, who lives in the ominous Fourth Realm.

Keira Knightley also stars in the film as the enchanting Sugar Plum fairy – and earlier in the year, comedian Miranda Hart also confirmed she would be making an appearance as a fairy.
The live-action adaptation of the Christmas classic, itself based on E.T.A Hoffman’s The Nutcracker and the Mouse King, will be released on October 26 2018.
