Emma Watson Will Take Over Emma Stone's Role in 'Little Women' Movie

Emma Watson has joined the highly anticipated Little Women movie!

The Harry Potter actress will be taking over the role that was originally meant for Emma Stone, who is no longer able to go forward because of promo for The Favourite, though she had never formally agreed to star, Variety reports.

As production is expected to begin next month, Sony quickly approached Watson.

It is still unknown which March sister she would portray.

Greta Gerwig is writing and directing, and Meryl Streep, Laura Dern, Saoirse Ronan, Timothee Chalamet, and Florence Pugh are all in negotiations to star in the remake of the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott.
