“Working with emerging talent is a cornerstone of Universal’s overall slate strategy and Marsai is a star on the rise,” Universal Pictures president Peter Cramer shares with the press. “[Marsai Martin] is not only tremendously talented in front of the camera, but offers a unique perspective as a creator and producer that will resonate with all audiences. We look forward to moviegoers getting to see how brilliant she is in Little and watching her evolve as a filmmaker here at Universal.”
Marsai Martin came up with the concept for Little. The Black-ish star thought it would be quite remarkable to have a high-powered character transformed into her younger self at a time when the pressure of adulthood is at an all-time high. Will Packer partnered with Marsai to make the teen one of the youngest producers in Hollywood.
