Latest News About Danny Devito Matilda

Here’s the latest I can confirm about Danny DeVito and Matilda:

• Danny DeVito has publicly suggested plans for a Matilda reunion with Mara Wilson, centered on a live-concert style event where they would narrate Matilda over a live score. This project has been described as Matilda in Concert, with a live score by composer David Newman. The discussions were linked to a potential performance with a live orchestra, and were affected by industry strikes at times, but there have been ongoing indications that the idea remains in consideration. [Source coverage notes include statements from DeVito and reporting outlets discussing the plan and its postponements, with various outlets referencing The Messenger and associated reporting.]

• Mara Wilson, who played Matilda in the 1996 film, has also commented on the Matilda reunion topic in contemporary interviews, noting her own shifting career and public expectations since the film. Her reflections are often included in articles alongside DeVito’s statements about a potential reunion.

• Coverage has appeared across entertainment outlets over the last few years, with some reports confirming that talks were active, while others emphasized delays due to strike-related concerns about promotions and event formats. The status has fluctuated, and newer updates may have emerged after my latest available summaries.

What this means for you:

• If you’re hoping to attend Matilda in Concert or see a Matilda reunion, it’s worth watching for official announcements from Danny DeVito, Mara Wilson, and the presenting orchestra (e.g., New Jersey Philharmonic) or their official channels.
• The concept remains a live-event/Narration-with-score format rather than a standard film release, and the project’s scheduling depends on industry contexts and organizational approvals.
