Amy Poehler's upcoming movie Moxie deals with some very timely — yet seemingly never-ending — issues. The Netflix original movie, adapted from a novel of the same name by Jennifer Mathieu, follows a teenage girl who grows frustrated with the toxic and bias-ridden atmosphere at her high school and starts an online magazine to combat it. As you might expect, director and producer Poehler has assembled a top-notch cast, mixing Hollywood veterans with young stars whose careers are on the rise. So just who can we expect to see in the cast? Keep reading for a full rundown of everyone who's been announced so far, ahead of the movie's March 3 debut on Netflix.

Hadley Robinson as Vivian

Robinson, who you may recognize as Meg's friend Sally from Little Women or Laurey in I'm Thinking of Ending Things, plays the lead role. Vivian is a shy 16-year-old who likes to keep her head down, until she sits up and takes notice of the biases and wrongdoing at her high school.

Alycia Pascual-Peña

Pascual-Peña plays the new student whose arrival sparks Vivian's realizations. Although she's been acting for several years, Pascual-Peña has really burst onto the scene this year, playing confident football player Aisha in the Saved by the Bell reboot.

Josie Totah

If you've watched tween or teen-oriented programming in the past several years, you've definitely encountered Totah in at least one or two roles! She's had recurring roles on several Disney Channel shows, including Jessie, Sofia the First, and Liv and Maddie, and she also had an arc on the final season of Glee. Moxie will be a mini reunion of sorts for her, too: like costar Pascual-Peña, she has a role on the new Saved by the Bell as Lexi Haddad-DeFabrizio.

Park has a long resume, dating all the way back to a short arc on That's So Raven in 2006! You're more likely to recognize her from playing Caitlin Park-Lewis on Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists or her three-year arc as Cyndie on The Walking Dead.

Lauren Tsai as Claudia

Tsai is a bit more of a newcomer than some of her costars. Her only notable onscreen role so far, however, has definitely been a memorable one: she played time-traveling mutant Switch on the sci-fi series Legion.

It's Agent Coulson himself! The longtime Marvel actor is stepping away from the comic-book world to tackle one of the "grown-up" roles in Moxie.

Charlie Hall

Hall got his start with a guest role on an episode of his mom Julia Louis-Dreyfus's show Veep, but he's quickly building a career of his own. You most likely recognize him from Love, Victor, where he played high schooler Kieran.
