Bronwyn (Pixie Davies) is small but mighty—the youngest and by far the strongest of the Peculiars. The pint-sized, brave, and dynamic character was a particular favorite of director Tim Burton’s.
Olive (Lauren McCrostie) literally has fire at her fingertips and must wear industrial-strength rubber gloves to keep her fiery touch under wraps or risk setting fire to anything she comes into contact with.
The Twins (Thomas and Joseph Odwell) are the most enigmatic of the Peculiars. They wear masks that obscure their faces, and are speechless, and have a hidden peculiarity that only comes to light in the most dangerous situations. It was essential for the actors portraying The Twins to be able to mirror one another and play the same things at the same time. What lies behind The Twins’ masks?
Emma (played by Ella Purnell) is a young aerokinetic teen. She has the ability to manipulate air and is so light that she must wear a pair of lead shoes to keep herself from floating away.
“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” is currently screening in Metro Manila cinemas (2D and 3D) from 20th Century Fox, distributed by Warner Bros. #StayPeculiarPH
