Yesterday we posted a report titled "Apple TV+ Acquires Animation Films 'Luck,' and 'Spellbound' From Skydance Animation, Led by Controversial John Lasseter." Today we're learning that two time Oscar winner Jane Fonda will play "The Dragon" in Apple and Skydance Animation’s upcoming Luck.

Luck follows the unluckiest girl in the world, who after stumbling upon the never-before-seen world of good and back luck, must join together with magical creatures to uncover a force more powerful than even luck itself. I hear this is not the role that Emma Thompson departed from as the entire production of Luck has been re-conceived.

Fonda’s Dragon is the exuberant CEO of Good Luck and undisputed luckiest ancient being in all the land. The character is billed as being elegant, stylish and as persuasive as she is powerful. The only thing better than good luck is more good luck, so when bad luck starts to spin out of control, she must face her fears or risk losing good luck forever. Peggy Holmes directs off Kiel Murray’s screenplay. John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and David Eisenmann are producing for Skydance Animation. For more, read the full Deadline report.
