Now, the story is continuing throughWhite Bird,aWonderprequel.
However, none of these actors make an appearance in the 2024 film.
In fact,the only actor fromWonderwho reprises his role is Bryce Gheisar as Julian.
Instead, the rest ofWhite Bird’scastincludes Helen Mirren, Gillian Anderson, Ariella Glaser, and Orlando Schwerdt.
This may leave audiences wondering: what isWhite Birdabout, and how does it connect toWonder?
White Birdmay be connected toWonder,but it sets up its own entirely new storyline.
Instead, Sara is the most important character and her story takes the most precedence.
Her life, and more specifically, her past, is whatWhite Birdis truly about.
Thus, there was no reason to bring back Tremblay, Roberts, or Wilson.

In many ways, this is what makesWhite Birdsuch a great installment.
However,White Birdtakes an entirely different approach by centering on Sara.
His thoughts and feelings about the situation are what led Sara to tell her own story of acceptance.
WonderandWhite Birdmay follow different stories, but the messages embedded in those stories are incredibly similar.
Both films are about accepting others for who they are, despite their differences.
