Wonder will not be released until April of next year, but the film will see Tremblay star alongside Oscar-winner Julia Roberts as his star continues to rise.
The movie is based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same name by R.J. Palacio and has been adapted into a screenplay by Steve Conrad.
Tremblay takes on the central role of August Pullman and Roberts will play his mother, Isabel.
Tremblay and Roberts are joined on the cast list by Owen Wilson, Mandy Patinkin, Millie Davis, and Izabela Vidovic.
Wonder also marks the return of Stephen Chbosky to the director's chair in what it only the third feature film of his career.
This is the first movie for Chbosky since the success of The Perks of Being a Wallflower back in 2012 and it is great to see him back.
Wonder tells the incredibly inspiring and heartwarming story of August Pullman. Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade.
As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to discover their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.
Wonder is released 7th April 2017.
