Earlier, we reported that Michael Showalter's holiday comedy Oh. What. Fun. starring Michelle Pfeiffer in the lead has added Chloe Grace Moretz and Dominic Sessa in supporting roles. Now, Felicity Jones has been added to the film's cast.

Michelle, who was recently seen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, will portray Claire Clauster in Oh. What. Fun. The roles Moretz, Sessa or Jones will be playing are yet to be disclosed.

The story, which is set to be a festive comedy adventure, centres on a woman named Claire Clauster (Pfeiffer), who organises a special Christmas outing, but her family forgets her in the shuffle. By the time they realise their mistake, she’s gone missing and their Christmas is in jeopardy. Luckily, nothing will stop Claire from giving her family the holiday they deserve.

Oh. What. Fun is based on a short story by Chandler Baker, who has written the film along with Showalter. The short story was originally published by Amazon Original Stories. Showalter and Jordana Mollick are producing via Semi Formal Productions, along with Berry Welsh and Jane Rosenthal of Tribeca Productions, and Kate Churchill. Baker will serve as executive producer of Oh. What. Fun. The team is planning a late-May production start in Atlanta. A release date for the same is yet to be announced.

Meanwhile, Jones was last seen in Dead Shot, the British film directed by Tom and Charles Guard, last year. She is currently working on The Brutalist, a drama directed by Brady Corbet starring Adrien Brody in the lead.
