Disney’s next big live-action film is picking up steam. Pinocchio, which has apparently been in the making since 2018, is finally moving forward with new additions to its cast. Cynthia Erivo has signed on to play the iconic Blue Fairy, who brought the puppet Pinocchio to life. This is just one of Erivo’s upcoming projects. The actress, who recently starred in HBO’s The Outsider, will next be seen in Nat Geo’s Genius: Aretha as a young Aretha Franklin and in Apple TV+ anthology series Roar.
