‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ Exclusive: The Mad Hatter Meets Sacha Baron Cohen’s Time
Time waits for no one — except, apparently, Alice on a return trip to Wonderland, as we learn in this Yahoo Movies exclusive clip from Alice Through the Looking Glass (watch it above). Here, we meet Sacha Baron Cohen’s half-man, half-clock character—he’s TIme—who joins the returning Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter (and Mia Wasikowska as Alice, not seen in this sneak peek) for the sequel to 2010 hit Alice In Wonderland. That film’s director, Tim Burton, has handed the reins over to James Bobin (The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted) this time.

In the clip, Baron Cohen’s aggrieved Time visits Depp’s hatter to locate a certain yellow-ish haired “thief” who helped herself to something he wouldn’t call important, nothing to fuss over, he assures his host, it’s just that he “must have it back…not that I’m concerned.” Sounds like Time is really ticked off.
Depp’s Hatter keeps things from boiling over further with an invitation to tea. As has been reported by outlets such as Cinemablend, Alice Through the Looking Glass has a time travel element, and it’s reasonable to assume Baron Cohen is after a device called a Chromosphere, which figures prominently in Alice’s bid to lift the now Sad Hatter’s spirits. Get a taste above, and go further down the rabbit hole when the film debuts this Friday, May 27.
