Marlow Barkley has been busy in 2022
2022 has been a big year for the young star as she has shared the screen with Hollywood legends like Jason Momoa, Ryan Reynolds, and Will Ferrell. Barkley joined the cast of Slumberland in 2021. Filming began in February of that year.
The movie follows an orphaned child named Nemo who struggles to take to her new life in the city. Nemo feels like an outsider as she attends school for the first time. Barkley stars alongside Momoa, who plays an outlaw named Flip, who helps her navigate the dream world to find a treasure that would help her see her late father again.
However, the deeper the pair venture into the dream world, the more Nemo finds that she doesn’t feel like waking up. Filming for Slumberland wrapped up in May 2021 and is set to hit Netflix on November 18, 2022.
Barkley is also set to star in Spirited alongside Reynolds and Ferrell. Spirited follows the three ghosts of Christmas who visit a dark soul, Clint Briggs, hoping to help him find the Christmas spirit. However, this year the choice is one tough Scrooge who turns the tables on his unwanted guests, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come.
Briggs’s actions prompt the Ghost of Christmas Present to reexamine his past, present, and future. Unlike others before it, Spirited tells the story from the ghosts’ perspective. Filming for Spirited began in July 2021 and concluded in October of that year.
The movie is set to have a limited theatrical release on November 11, 2022, after which it will get a digital release on Apple TV+ on November 18. Barkley stars as Wren, Andrea Anders’ character’s younger version.
