Melissa McCarthy is set to star in the animated feature “Margie Claus,” which Warner Bros. Pictures Animation schedules for a theatrical release on Nov. 12, 2027. The films centers on Santa’s wife, who sets out to rescue him.
The outlets also report that the production rounds out its voice cast with Jim Gaffigan as Santa and Andrew Scott as Jack Frost. Additional cast members named include Annie Mumolo, Georgette Falcone, Octavia Spencer, Gary Farmer, Luis Gerardo Méndez, Cedric Yarbrough, and Maria Bakalova. Both reports tie the project to original music written by Meghan Trainor, who is described as writing and producing songs for the film.
While the outlets largely align on the release date, premise, and key performers, they differ slightly in emphasis: Deadline highlights the broader ensemble list and the songs credit, while The Hollywood Reporter foregrounds McCarthy’s involvement and the overall casting announcements.
