Based on the popular fictional story tale by Beatrix Potter, the film production of "Peter Rabbit" is scheduled to hit theaters on February 9. The new flick follows Peter as he and his gang of furry friends rally together to retrieve their garden back from Mr. McGregor next door.
"Peter Rabbit" is a half animated feature/half 3D action film, meaning that although some characters are real-life people — including Domhnall Gleeson as Thomas McGregor, Rose Byrne as Bea, and Sam Neill as Mr. McGregor — others are CGI created animals voiced by some of Hollywood’s best and brightest.
Before the film hits theaters, here is the voice cast of "Peter Rabbit" in real life.
James Corden as Peter Rabbit
Television host James Corden voiced the title role of Peter Rabbit in the film. Corden, who currently appears as host of "The Late Late Show," is also an experienced actor, singer, and performer.
In 2012, he won the TONY Award for best actor in a play for his performance in "One Man, Two Guvnors." On screen, Corden has also appeared in "Trolls," "The Emoji Movie," "Into The Woods," and "The Three Musketeers."
Daisy Ridley as Cottontail
The role of Cottontail, Peter Rabbit’s youngest sister, is voiced by English actress Daisy Ridley. Ridley is most well-known for her role as Rey in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." She can also be seen in "Only Yesterday" and "Murder on the Orient Express."
Margot Robbie as Flopsy
Golden Globe nominee Margot Robbie joined the cast as the voice of Flopsy, Peter Rabbit’s awkward sister. Robbie is no stranger to the screen, having appeared in films including "Suicide Squad" as Harley Quinn, "The Legend of Tarzan" as Jane Porter, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" as Naomi Lapaglia.
Most recently, Robbie received critical acclaim for her portrayal of Tonya Harding in the hit film "I, Tonya" that garnered her Academy Award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild nominations.
Elizabeth Debicki as Mopsy
Voicing the role of Mopsy is Australian actress Elizabeth Debicki. Mopsy is Peter Rabbit’s oldest sister who is known for being quite stubborn.
Like many of the film’s other actors, Debicki has a long list of credits herself. She appeared in critically acclaimed films such as "The Great Gatsby," "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2," and "The Cloverfield Paradox" which was recently released on Netflix.
Matt Lucas as Benjamin Bunny
English comedian Matt Lucas voiced the role of Benjamin Bunny, Peter Rabbit’s clumsy cousin. His character has a long history himself, having had a novel by the title of "The Tale of Benjamin Bunny" written by Porter in 1904.
Aside from being a comedian, Lucas is also a screenwriter, actor, and singer. He appeared as Tweedledee and Tweedledum in "Alice Through The Looking Glass," Joe in "Paddington," and Gil in "Bridesmaids."
Sia as Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle
Nine-time Grammy Award nominee Sia is the voice of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, the garden's beloved hedgehog. Although she has been heard on the soundtrack of many films, this was one of Sia’s first times acting in a leading role.
