However, David Heyman said this, according to Screen Rant, “I am thrilled to collaborate with Thomas Gustafsson, Olle Nyman and their team at the Astrid Lindgren Company and our partners at Studiocanal on this film adaptation of the brilliant and timeless Pippi Longstocking. Pippi has endured and inspired families everywhere through her life force, strength of character and her irrepressible joie de vivre.”

The Pippi Longstocking novels were published as early as the ’40s. In addition, in the books, Pippi is dubbed “the world’s strongest girl.” She often fights off pirates and other thieves. For instance, Pippi doesn’t want to grow up, and the books and film adaptations focus on lessons in morality.

The film will likely do well in this day and age

Screen Rant continues, “At a time when diversity and positive portrayals of girls and women are being demanded in cinema, the possibilities for stories with the Pippi character seem endless.”

In addition, they said they realize that “audiences respond positively to warm, happy and uplifting stories that offer a touch of the familiar. Fortunately, Pippi Longstocking possesses all of those characteristics.”
