Twitter Reacts To Kristen Stewart Being Cast as Princess Diana In New Movie

Kristen Stewart has landed a pretty big role for the upcoming film Spencer.
The 30-year-old actress is set to portray the late Princess Diana in the drama, Deadline reports.
Spencer “covers a critical weekend in the early ‘90s, when Diana decided her marriage to Prince Charles wasn’t working, and that she needed to veer from a path that put her in line to one day be queen. The drama takes place over three days, in one of her final Christmas holidays in the House of Windsor in their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England.”
After the news was announced, many people took to Twitter with mixed reactions and shared their thoughts on the casting.
“‘Academy Award winner Kristen Stewart…’ YESSS,” one user wrote in support.
“People will talk sh-t as usual about Kristen playing Diana…but she will nailed cause she’s simply one of the Best actresses of our generation!!!!” another fan wrote.

I think Kristen Stewart is a good actress, but I also think an English actress should be cat to play a famous English woman.

Why are we still acting like Kristen Stewart is this terrible actress? She’s proven multiple times in films other than Twilight that she is actually pretty solid. Like come on, it’s not 2009 anymore.

Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana? I hope she is able to do justice to the role, because Diana was truly an international icon, in more than one way. Any misstep and this is gonna blow up on her.

There are truly no fucking words to adequately describe how I feel about Kristen Stewart playing Diana Spencer. Whoever is in charge, pls contact me so that we can kiss.

Kristen Stewart had an affair with a married man during Snow White, and Princess Diana was a woman who was plagued by her husband's affair. It feels pretty deaf to Princess Diana's story.

Ugh. Why. Are there zero UK actresses who can do this? What is Hollywood's obsession with her? #kristenstewart https://t.co/PKyzbG5hpm

She does actually look pretty similar to Diana with the blond hair. I think she will do a good job. As long as she has a good vocal coach. #KristenStewart #YouGotThis https://t.co/858gyTtaQU pic.twitter.com/p4Qm4hmNsA

The more I think about it, the more Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana makes perfect sense. She's got that essential walled-off quality for the role.

No diss on Kristen Stewart, but ??? There was not a British woman available and appropriate for the role? https://t.co/q39yQM4N9h
