With six seasons of Game of Thrones already under her belt, Maisie Williams is no stranger to dabbling with history on screen, but The Hollywood Reporter brings word that the young actress is poised to journey even further back in time – all the way to the Bronze Age for Aardman’s prehistoric animation Early Man. Rubbing shoulders with Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hiddleston on the film’s casting docket, we understand Williams will play the part of Goona, a gallant and indomitable rebel who strikes up an unusual friendship with Dug, the bumbling lead of Early Man. From there, our two mismatched heroes navigate a clash between the Stone Age and Bronze Age civilizations, and will no doubt cause quite the ruckus while attempting to do so. Hiddleston, meanwhile, recently climbed on board to play Lord Nooth, a ridiculously pompous governor/tyrant who hails from the Bronze Age town. He’s the de facto villain, essentially, and will be causing all sorts of chaos for Dug and Goona. Headed up by Nick Park, Early Man heralds the director’s first return to the world of stop-motion animation since The Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Now, more than a decade later, the Wallace & Gromit creator is ready to engineer a new family-friendly adventure.
