The synopsis for Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget is courtesy of Aardman Animations; Having pulled off a death-defying escape from Tweedy’s farm, Ginger has finally found her dream – a peaceful island sanctuary for the whole flock, far from the dangers of the human world. When she and Rocky hatch a little girl called Molly, Ginger’s happy ending seems complete. But back on the mainland, the whole of chicken-kind faces a new and terrible threat. For Ginger and her team, even if it means putting their own hard-won freedom at risk – this time, they’re breaking in. Who are the cast members of Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget? Some brand new cast members will be replacing some of the original cast; Thandie Newton replaces Julia Sawalha as Ginger Zachary Levi replaces Mel Gibson as Rocky Daniel Mays replaces Phil Daniels as Fetcher David Bradley replaces Benjamin Whitrow as Fowler Romesh Ranganathan replaces Timothy Spall as Nick Cast members reprising their roles; Imelda Staunton as Bunty Jane Horrocks as Babs Lynn Ferguson as Mac Introducing new cast members: Bella Ramsey as Molly Josie Sedgwick as Frizzie Nick Mohammed as Dr. Fry Why have some cast members been replaced? In a surprising turn of events, in July 2020, Julia Sawalha announced that she would not be reprising her role as Ginger as the studio opted for a younger actress instead. Producers of the movie notified Julia’s agent that the decision to replace her was because her voice now sounds “too old” despite the fact they never gave her an opportunity to do a voice test for the role. The re-casting of Julia was criticized heavily, with many accusing the producers of being ageist. No reason was given for the recasting of Mel Gibson, however, given the actor’s controversial reputation, it’s not hard to see why the producers would opt for a new actor to take on the role of Rocky. It’s also not been made clear why Timothy Spall and Phil Daniels have been replaced as the voices of Nick and Fetcher. Game of Thrones and Harry Potter actor David Bradley replaces Benjamin Whitrow as the voice of Fowler as the actor passed away at the age of 80 in September 2017.
