The first trailer for A Wrinkle In Time has been released to much excitement from fans of the book.
A discussion panel and promo unveiling of the all-star adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s popular tale was one of the key events at the D23 Expo in Los Angeles, where fans gathered for a celebration of all things Disney.
The film is directed by Ava DuVernay and stars Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pine, Oprah Winfrey, Storm Reid, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Mindy Kaling, Zach Galifianakis and Michael Pena.

DuVernay came out on stage at the D23 Expo with cast members Reid, Pine, Witherspoon, Winfrey and Kaling for a panel discussion and the first reveal of the trailer.
A Wrinkle In Time, first published in 1963, sees a young girl (Reid) travel with her brother and a friend into space in search of her recently-disappeared scientist father (Pine).
The trailer showed Winfrey and Witherspoon in otherworldly costumes for the fantasy adventure.
Fans had been tweeting all day about waiting for the trailer to be released.

Saturday’s reveal of the trailer did not disappoint.
The #WrinkleInTime teaser… I'm speechless. Looks like a mash-up of old school 60s sci-fi with a modern touch. I'm so down for this.
