Florence Pugh’s Upcoming Project The Wonder’s Poster Released By Netflix
We are merely residing in Florence Pugh’s universe. The Wonder, Pugh’s follow-up film to the highly anticipated and contentious Don’t Worry Darling, is scheduled to debut on Netflix in November and also receive a theatrical release.
Pugh’s performance in the upcoming picture has already been praised in reviews for the movie from Telluride and the Toronto Film Festival. The young actress, who is unquestionably this generation’s rising star, will work on this psychological thriller under the Oscar-winning direction of Sebastián Lelio.
The storyline of this movie was taken from the same-titled novel by Emma Donoghue, and it is quite similar to its psychodramatic precursor Room, which was also adapted for the big screen. The story revolves around a girl who “stops eating yet magically stays alive and well” (Good Reads). The actual events surrounding the 19th-century sighting of the “fasting girls” served as its ultimate inspiration.
Netflix Has Unveiled The Wonder’s Poster
Pugh has donned the same Victorian-era attire in the first Netflix-to-be-released movie images. The setting of the film, the Irish Midlands of 1862, will introduce the audience to the role of Lib Wright, an English nurse who is hired to care for the aforementioned young girl called Anna O’Donnell.
The historical film depicts the influx of pious travelers who came from far and wide to see the wonder. In spite of all these obstacles, it’s up to Pugh’s Lib to defend the child and examine her case as aspiring journalists flood in to scoop up inside information. Although Florence Pugh’s character in this film is a strong proponent of science, the overall plot places her in the middle of a conflict between science and faith. When it counts the most, which side will she support? Or will she need to discover a means of bridging the two’s differences in order to make it work?
Looking Forward to Pugh’s Performance
The Wonder, the newest psychological thriller from filmmaker Sebastián Lelio and starring Florence Pugh, will make its Netflix debut in the bitter cold of December. The Wonder is an adaptation of Emma Donoghue’s novel of the same name and is based on the unusual “Fasting Girls” phenomena that occurred in the 1800s. The gloomy setting of a rural Irish town in the nineteenth century is depicted in the recently released first looks and poster art, where Pugh’s character is tasked with keeping watch over a young girl.
According to reports, 11-year-old Anna O’Donnell (Kla Lord Cassidy) in the movie has reportedly skipped meals for several months but has remained alert and healthy. Nurse Lib Wright (Pugh) thinks she’s been brought to this remote hamlet to investigate the strange ailment, but as the two come to know one another as the days go by, Lib starts to question whether anything more nefarious is going on. According to Collider’s TIFF review, the tense period drama tackles the precarious line that must be drawn between religious miracle and scientific fact and teeters on the brink of a slow, creeping terror.
Video Collider of the Day
The first glimpse pictures highlight Lelio’s use of light and shadow as well as the size of the Irish moors in the background. The starkness of the environment itself becomes a character of the movie only from the images. One image shows Tom Burke’s Will Byrne carrying Anna through the hilly terrain while Lib leads the way in what appears to be a critical scene of the movie. The photographs have a bleak, monochromatic appearance and a feeling of isolation and confinement when set against a sky that is gunmetal gray.

In the stills, Toby Jones (Captain America: The First Avenger), Dermot Crowley (Luther), and Ciarán Hinds (Game of Thrones) play Sir Otway, Sir McBrearty, and Father Thaddeus, respectively. These somber men appear to be in control of the hapless destiny of the young Anna, which makes the photos all the more alarming given that somber males have a long history of endangering the safety of young women. The poster focuses on Pugh’s role and her bond with her charge Anna, and some of the photographs show Pugh conversing with Lelio at the beginning of the film.
Niamh Algar, Elaine Cassidy, David Wilmot, Brán F. O’Byrne, Josie Walker, and Caolan Byrne all appear in the movie. Alice Birch, who wrote the screenplay for Lady MacBeth, collaborated with Catherine Pugh, who starred in the movie, on The Wonder. Lelio is the director of Disobedience, a suspenseful and tragic film from 2017. Along with Danny Cohen and Len Blavatnik, Donoghue serves as executive producer.
The Wonder’s Release Date
The Wonder will have its December release in a few theaters and on Netflix after having its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The Wonder, starring Florence Pugh, Tom Burke, Toby Jones, and others, will be released on Netflix on November 16, 2022, as opposed to November 2 in theaters.
