The 'Wonder' spin-off is set to be released this August.
This summer, Lionsgate is bringing a touching story to the screen with the release of its Wonder spin-off White Bird: A Wonder Story. Starring Helen Mirren, Bryce Gheisar, and Gillian Anderson, the film centers on Julian , who was expelled from his former school. Soon after, Julian learns about his grandmother's own experience with hate in Nazi-occupied France. Ahead of the premiere in August, Lionsgate released a new trailer.
Like the trailer before it, the new one gives us another look at the prominent 1940s setting in which Mirren's character was a young girl. As she tells her story to Julian, related moments in her life play out, including her first encounter with a new boy. While the two didn't yet know each other, they both experience some version of cruelty -- her with anti-semitism and the boy with ableism.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT How White Bird Connects to Wonder White Bird brings a different story to the Wonder universe but maintains a couple of key connections to the first story. Character-wise, White Bird continues Julian's story, a character who was first introduced in Wonder. In the latter, Julian was the primary instigator of bullying towards Auggie Pullman , who had a facial deformity.
White Bird opens in select theaters beginning August 18 and will have a wider release the following week on August 25. Check out the new trailer and synopsis below: "In ‘White Bird,’ we follow Julian , who has struggled to belong ever since he was expelled from his former school for his treatment of Auggie Pullman. To transform his life, Julian’s grandmother finally reveals to Julian her own story of courage — during her youth in Nazi-occupied France, a boy shelters her from mortal danger. They find first love in a stunning, magical world of their own creation, while the boy’s mother risks everything to keep her safe.
