Despite his young age, he is a brilliant, intuitive, and empathetic child who seems wise beyond his years. These qualities make him especially sensitive to the mysterious forces in the universe and a critical player in the cosmic battle between good and evil.

In the 2018 Disney film adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time, Charles Wallace is portrayed by Deric McCabe. McCabe brings an intense, thoughtful presence to the role, capturing the character’s intelligence, innocence, and courage. His portrayal highlights Charles Wallace’s relationship with his sister, Meg, and his role in the quest to rescue their father from the clutches of the dark entity known as IT.

The character of Charles Wallace, as brought to life by McCabe, remains faithful to L’Engle’s vision of a gifted yet vulnerable child whose compassion and insight are vital in the journey to overcome darkness.
