Kenneth Branagh to Voice Title Character in A24's 'Goblin' Comedy Film
Sir Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the title character in the upcoming film "Goblin," a buddy comedy project described as a mix of "Ted" and "E.T." The film, produced by A24, will also feature Skyler Gisondo in a lead role. The script for the film was written by David Mikalson, and A24 secured the project without the need for a proof-of-concept version. The film is expected to use a practical puppet for the creature rather than CGI animation.
Skyler Gisondo is reportedly in talks to star in a new "Superman" spin-off TV series centered around the Daily Planet. Meanwhile, Kenneth Branagh recently directed the film "A Haunting in Venice" and is set to direct "The Last Disturbance of Madeline Hynde" starring Jodie Comer and Michael Sheen. The film "Goblin" is anticipated to be a unique and outrageous comedy that will showcase the talents of both Branagh and Gisondo.
