Known for her long career of acting prowess, Emma Thompson now appears to have proven herself once again. Netflix’s first teaser trailer for the upcoming “Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical” features ominous narration from Thompson, who plays the infamous headmistress, Miss Trunchbull. “This school is full of rebels,” Trunchbull says in a voiceover over the students of Crunchem Hall.
Later, the camera shows Thompson’s broad shoulders and militaristic outfit, tied together with a rigid bun of white hair. Later, she towers over protagonist Matilda, revealing yellowed teeth and weathered skin.
