After nearly a decade in development, Warner Bros. Pictures Animation's long-awaited holiday film Margie Claus is moving ahead, with a confirmed release date of 5 November 2027. Originally conceived as a live-action festive comedy, the project has now been reimagined as an animated musical featuring Melissa McCarthy in the title role.
Comedian and writer Cole Escola has joined the voice cast as a new character named Levi, the head elf. The casting was announced in a video posted to McCarthy's social media accounts, marking a major update in a project that had remained dormant for several years.
