Kerry Washington Gives Us Major ‘Enchanted’ Vibes in New ‘The School for Good and Evil’ Trailer

Is it just us or does Kerry Washington give major Giselle from Enchanted vibes in the teaser for The School for Good and Evil?

Netflix has just released the first official teaser for Netflix’s new fantasy movie, which features big Hollywood names like Washington, Charlize Theron, Laurence Fishburne and Michelle Yeoh.

The trailer starts with Lady Lesso (Theron), the head of School for the Evil, saying, “Did you ever wonder where every great fairy tale begins? Where the good become heroes and the evil become villains? Welcome. We have been expecting you.”

At one point, we see Lady Lesso come face to face with Washington’s character, who is the nice Professor Dovey aka the head of the School for Good. The Scandal actress is rocking a curly blonde afro, a bright yellow gown with a diamond-embroidered crown and a pair of sparkly heels.

Based on the bestselling series by Soman Chainani, the movie follows two best friends named Sophie and Agatha. They soon find themselves on opposite sides when they are taken to an enchanted school where young heroes and villains are trained to protect the balance between good and evil.

Who doesn’t love a good modern-day fairy tale?
