The first trailer and a new poster for the upcoming animated family comedy feature Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw have arrived, presaging a new unpredictable adventure for Greg and the gang. The film, adapted from the third installment of author Jeff Kinney’s worldwide bestselling book series, premieres exclusively on Disney+ on December 5.
In the trailer, Greg continually finds himself at odds with his dad’s outsized expectations. As pressure builds to turn his act around after a series of hilarious near disasters, Greg’s dad presents him with an ultimatum — and a trip to wilderness camp — that just might challenge Greg’s wimpy ways for good.
The film’s voice cast includes Aaron D. Harris (Matlock) as Greg Heffley; Chris Diamantopoulos (Silicon Valley) as Greg’s dad, Frank; Erica Cerra (The 100) as Greg’s mom, Susan; Hunter Dillon (The Spiderwick Chronicles) as Greg’s sarcastic older brother, Rodrick; Jude Zarzaur (The Chosen Adventures) as Greg’s best friend, Rowley; Gracen Newton (Disney Jr.’s Ariel) as Greg’s younger brother, Manny; Jill Basey (Pen15) as Greg’s neighbor, Mrs. Canfield; Bashir Salahuddin (South Side) as the Heffley’s condescending neighbor, Mr. Warren; and William Stanford Davis (Abbott Elementary) as Greg’s Boy Scout Troop Master Barrett.
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw is directed by Matt Danner (Legend of the Three Caballeros) and written and produced by award-winning series creator Jeff Kinney. It is the fourth animated feature adaptation of the popular book series to debut on Disney+, following Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021), Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules (2022) and Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever (2023).
