During Alice’s hiatus from Underland, turmoil erupts in Alice Through the Looking Glass as Cohen’s Time and Carter’s Red Queen appear to have captured the Mad Hatter.
Alice is forced to leave the real world — where she is deemed clinically insane, having been diagnosed with “female hysteria” — to save the Mad Hatter.
According to ComingSoon, Alice Kingsleigh left Underland and followed in her father’s footsteps to sail the high seas. Upon returning to London, she finds a magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland to see all of her old friends.
According to the synopsis, The Hatter, who appears to be in some sort of comatose state, has lost his “Muchness.” Mirana (Anne Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere to return to the past so she can save the Mad Hatter — before it’s too late.
Reminded by her metamorphosed friend Absolem (Alan Rickman) that “a friend cannot be neglected,” Alice sets off on her second Wonderland journey to foil the Red Queen’s plans.

The world of Underland looks more lush than ever as Lewis Carroll’s characters are extracted straight from the pages of his novel to the silver screen again.
The opulent colorization of Underland is in stark contrast of the story’s doomsday plot. In the trailer, Time decides that time is up in Alice’s Wonderland as well as the Mad Hatter.

In addition to Time wreaking havoc in Through the Looking Glass, the fearsome Jabberwocky from Carroll’s nonsensical poem by the same name joins the fray.
Deadline reports that Alice Through the Looking Glass director, James Bobin, sat down with the Mad Hatter himself, Johnny Depp, on Facebook’s Live Feature to answer ravenous fans’ questions about Through the Looking Glass.
