The new Annie officially has her nemesis.

Cameron Diaz has signed up to play the cruel orphanage headmistress Miss Hannigan in the upcoming film remake of the musical Annie, Deadline.com reports – the character memorably portrayed by Carol Burnett in the 1982 film.


Diaz will play opposite Quvenzhané Wallis, the 9-year-old Oscar nominee who is set for the role of Annie.


An Oscar winner, Jamie Foxx, will play Daddy Warbucks in the musical, which is originally based on an early-20th-century comic strip. The film is being produced by Will Smith and Jay-Z and directed by Will Gluck.


Sandra Bullock had been in talks to play Miss Hannigan but reportedly backed out.


Between her and Diaz, who would you have preferred in the role? Tell us below.
