Actress
Hayley Atwell has reportedly joined the cast of Disney's 'Winnie-the- Pooh' live- action movie, 'Christopher Robin'. The 35-year-old actress will star in the project alongside
Ewan McGregor and play
Christopher Robin's wife.
The movie, which is being directed by
Marc Forster, is centred on Christopher Robin - played by McGregor - as a grown-up, who has lost his imagination and is too focused on work to have fun with his family until Pooh Bear surprisingly re-enters his life.
Christopher Robin's character was created by late English author A.A. Milne and featured in his two books 'Winnie-the- Pooh' from 1926 and 'The House at Pooh Corner' from 1928 - inspired by his own son and his beloved teddy bear - with both tomes focusing on the boy's adventures with talking bear Pooh and the other animals of the Hundred Acre Wood.
