Director Ava Duvernay opened up about her casting choices for the three celestial beings.

Speaking to EW she said she saw this as an opportunity to expand on the archetype of the three wise women – she wanted women of different ages, body types and races.

Duvernay has worked with Oprah before and casting her as the powerful sage was an easy decision. 

“I mean, when you’re trying to cast the wisest woman in the world, what’s the question? You go and you call her and you’re glad that you have her number on speed dial,” said Duvernay. 

A Wrinkle in Time opens in cinemas March 2018.
