Meryl Streep is rumored to star in the film adaptation Stephen Sondheim’s musical, Into the Woods!

Movie Web states that Meryl Streep is in talks to star in the upcoming movie adaption of Into the Woods, but unfortunately did not mention which character she is rumored to star as.

The plot focuses on a mean witch that puts a curse on the Baker and his wife, which prevents them from having any children. It weaves in many popular fairy tales, including Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood.

Disney recently hosted a reading of the screenplay, which had Nina Arianda as The Baker’s Wife, Christine Baranski as the Stepmother, Tammy Blanchard as Florinda, Victoria Clark as Cinderella’s Mother/Giant, James Corden as the Baker, David Garrison as the Narrator, Ivan Hernandez as the Wolf, Megan Hilty as Lucinda, Cheyenne Jackson as Rapunzel’s Prince, Allison Janney as Jack’s Mother, Anna Kendrick as Cinderella, Michael McGrath as the Steward/Baker’s Father, Donna Murphy as the Witch, Laura Osnes as Rapunzel, Taylor Trensch as Jack, Casey Whyland as Little Red Riding Hood and Patrick Wilson as Cinderella’s Prince.

Sondheim, the composer and lyricist, and James Lapine, the author of the original book, will be adapting the script for the film and Rob Marshall (Chicago, Nine) is directing.

What character would you like to see Streep play? Seeing her as the Baker’s Wife would be brilliant, but she may be too old to play a character who wants to bear children! Perhaps the evil witch? Leave us your thoughts below!
