The movie stars Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, and Paul Rudd. Coon plays a mom named Callie, with Grace as her science-obsessed daughter Phoebe, and Wolfhard as gearhead son Trevor.
Phoebe and Trevor’s school teacher, Mr. Grooberson (played by Rudd), was a kid when the Manhattan Crossrip occurred and is excited to pass on what he knows.

Wolfhard is best known for his role as Mike Wheeler in the Netflix series Stranger Things and as Richie Tozier in the film adaptation of Stephen King's horror novel It (2017) and its sequel It: Chapter Two. At the age of 15, Grace has appeared in several films and TV series such as Designated Survivor, I, Tonya, Captain Marvel, Annabelle Comes Home and The Handmaid's Tale.
