That just struck me yesterday.
Also, why do they have a red-headed character with braids or pigtails in a prominent spot on the lower left side? Which just so happens to look like how Meg was described in the book?
Did they start to backpedal, realising oops, they made a mistake taking this movie so far away from the book, which so many people love?
Meg had red hair in the book? For some reason, I always thought she had brown hair and Calvin had red hair. It has been a long time since I read it though, so I'm probably mistaken.
share[nods] Meg was a red-head. Don't remember the description of Calvin, but Charles Wallace was, as I recall, a blonde.
shareYou were right about Meg having brown hair. Calvin's described as having orange hair, so yes, basically red.
shareThey don't look all white to me. And I hope you've now noticed that the red-head in the lower corner is Mrs. Whatsit, who is a major character in the story.
It's the lighting used when editing the poster. Over half the cast was either black or from a non-white race).
