Netflix today announced additional voice cast for the upcoming animated comedy, Swapped, set to premiere May 1. It was previously announced that Michael B. Jordan (Sinners, Creed) and Juno Temple (Fargo, Ted Lasso) will lead the cast as a small woodland creature and a majestic bird who suddenly swap bodies and must work together to survive the wildest adventure of their lives.
Additional cast include Tracy Morgan (The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, 30 Rock), Cedric the Entertainer (The Neighborhood, Barbershop), Justina Machado (Six Feet Under, One Day at a Time), Ambika Mod (One Day, The Stolen Girl), and Lolly Adefope (Ghosts, Miracle Workers).
“Swapped is a body swap movie unlike anything audiences have seen before. In this world, the creatures of the valley exist on a spectrum between plant and animal, creating a wild ecosystem. At the center of the film is the smallest creature in the valley, voiced by Michael B. Jordan, who suddenly finds himself swapped into a completely different body and thrust into a massive, unpredictable world that turns his entire life upside down and forces him to experience life from a completely different perspective,” director Nathan Greno (Tangled) tells Tudum.
“Swapped is an unpredictable, emotional ride — full of humor, spectacle, and heart. We drew from live-action nature documentaries, exploring the complexity of a wild ecosystem to capture something that feels vibrant and deeply human,” Greno added.
Swapped is written by John Whittington (Sonic the Hedgehog 3, The Lego Batman Movie) and writing partners Christian Magalhães, and Robert Snow (DuckTales, WondLa).
