Depp And Wasikowska Confirmed For Alice 2

Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska have officially joined Disney's Alice In Wonderland 2.

The pair have signed up to reprise their 2010 roles as The Mad Hatter and Alice respectively in the sequel to the billion-dollar-grossing original, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

There is no word yet as to which other stars - if any - may be returning.

One person not returning, though, is director Tim Burton. The director's chair will instead be filled by James Bobin, who helmed 2011's marvellous The Muppets. What this will mean for the tone of the movie compared to the first is anyone's guess.

Alice In Wonderland 2 is expected to release in late May 2016.
