Matilda Wormwood is leading the charge in the full trailer forRoald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical.
Interspersed with songs from the beloved stage musical, scenes show Matilda standing up to “the Trunchbull” both alone and alongside classmates, with the support (and worry) of her understanding, kind teacher, Miss Honey (Lashana Lynch), who praises Matilda’s “extraordinary” mind.
“That’s not right!” Matilda yells at the Trunchbull at one point.
“You just said no … to me,” the latter replies sinisterly.

Other scenes show the Trunchbull taunting and torturing students, as well as Matilda bonding with Miss Honey and confiding in her about her telekinetic powers.
“Matilda, you need to be very careful!” Miss Honey says. “Miss Trunchbull, she’s dangerous.”
The famous moment where the Trunchbull forces a boy to eat an entire chocolate cake is then teased, as students gathered around look on nervously.
As the trailer cuts back to Matilda and Miss Honey after the latter warns of Miss Trunchbull being “dangerous,” the young girl tells her teacher, “So am I.”
