Viewers are eager to find out who features in the cast of Netflix’s Swapped, which is currently amongst the most-watched movies on the streaming giant.
The film landed on the platform on Friday, 1st May and has steadily grown into an enormous success for the streamer.
It currently sits at number two on Netflix‘s top 10 chart, more than a week after its debut.
Set on a tropical island inhabited by animal-plant hybrids, the story follows a land-dwelling creature who miraculously swaps bodies with a magnificent bird, compelling the pair to join forces and endure an extraordinary journey to return to their original forms.
With even more audiences discovering the charming animated adventure this weekend, many are keen to learn who lends their vocal talents to the vibrant array of characters, reports the Mirror.

Swapped, helmed by the director behind Disney’s Tangled, Nathan Greno, assembled an impressive roster of talent to bring to life a wide variety of mammals, birds, and fish inhabiting the island.
The film is headlined by Oscar-winning actor Michael B. Jordan as Ollie, an otter-like creature known as a ‘Pookoo’. Jordan is most recognised for his role as Adonis Creed in the Rocky Balboa spin-off trilogy, as well as the menacing Erik Killmonger in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther.
He made his name with appearances in acclaimed TV dramas including The Wire and Friday Night Lights, and this year claimed his first Academy Award for his dual portrayal of Smoke and Stack in Coogler’s blockbuster horror-thriller, Sinners.
Jordan is joined by British actress Juno Temple as Ivy, a green bird known as a ‘Javan’ who swaps bodies with Ollie. Temple is perhaps best recognised for her portrayal of Keeley in the hugely popular Apple TV comedy-drama, Ted Lasso.

She has also featured in box office hits including Disney’s Maleficent, The Dark Knight Rises, and Venom: The Last Dance.
Further leading cast members include 30 Rock legend Tracy Morgan as the fish Boogle, and Madagascar’s Cedric the Entertainer as Caloo, Ollie’s father.
Six Feet Under and Queen of the South’s Justina Machado portrays Calli, Ollie’s mother, while This Is Going to Hurt and One Day’s Ambika Mod plays Ivy’s sister, Violet.

The supporting cast includes:
- Lolly Adefope (Ghosts) as Lily, a Javan and Ivy’s sister.
- Singer Táta Vega as Ollie’s grandma, a Pookoo and Ollie’s grandmother; and as Mrs. Dung Beetle.
- Nate Torrence (Zootropolis) as Lodd, a Pookoo and friend of Ollie’s.
- John Ratzenberger (Toy Story) as Elder Javan.
- Johnny Williams as Mr. dung beetle.
- David Lodge as Wolf Father.
- Fred Tatasciore as Elder Javan and Rock Bear.
- Zemo Tatasciore as Wolf Pup.
- Kari Wahlgren as female Pookoo and Javan nurse.
- Maven Morgan as young Pinecone.
Swapped is available to stream on Netflix.

Disney On Ice returns to Great Britain this winter with a brand new show. Beginning this year, Disney On Ice presents Discover The Magic will skate onto ice rinks across October, November, December and January. During this adventure, the show will visit Birmingham, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield, London and more. Included in this monumental show will be displays of world-class skating, aerial performances, and a collection of the world’s favourite Disney stories brought to life through beautiful choreography. And there are some incredible characters and stories on the line-up.
Disney fans attending Discover The Magic will witness the stories of some major characters played out, including Moana, Coco, Captain Hook, Tinker Bell, Miguel, Ana & Elsa, Woody & Jessie and many more. This, of course, includes excerpts from major franchises such as Frozen, Encanto, Toy Story and more. All of these entries will be “packed with music, movement and larger-than-life production”. What’s more, there will be some “mischievous surprises” from the intergalactic trickster Stitch, as well.
Disney On Ice presents Discover The Magic will be brought to life by more than 100 skilled artisans with more than 173 dazzling costumes.
With “thousands of yards of fabric”, each live character will be adorned with hundreds of thousands of hand-set Swarovski crystals. And that’s before we look at the sets.
The Disney On Ice production features multiple sets that weigh over 12,000 pounds, including the 1,000-pound staircase which look like Stilettos.
If you’re looking for something a little different, however, there is another arena-filling Disney spectacle coming to the UK this year.

The Disney Worlds Collide Concert Tour will be filling some enormous venues around the country in February, bringing the music and spectacles of three major Disney franchises to stages. This medley of stories, including Descendants, ZOMBIES and Camp Rock, will see the biggest hits performed live by the actual actors involved in the shows. And tickets for those concerts are out now.
Alternatively, for the education-seekers out there, Tutankhamun: The Immersive Exhibition throws attendees into Ancient Egypt to experience culture, technology and history all at once. Hosted at the NEC in Birmingham for a limited time, this is one history fans are not going to want to miss.
But, for the Disney fans who want to experience something with a little glamour, they can do so with the introduction of the all-new VIP Magical Pass at Disney On Ice. This VIP package includes premium reserved seating with enhanced views.
On top of that, attendees can get early access to the special pre-show character meet-and-greet an hour before the event begins. And you’ll be given a commemorative collectible lanyard to mark the occasion.
Below, we’ve detailed how to buy tickets to Disney On Ice presents Discover The Magic.

While the Discover The Magic tour is brand there, there are no reviews for the show just yet. However, many critics have raved about previous Disney On Ice events.
Frugal Mum said: “The Frozen display was the best part of the show – the huge Arendelle Castle really set the scene, and the familiar soundtrack from the movie had everyone belting out Let it Go. We definitely have frozen fever in our house and, as Elsa skated around with the snow machine blasting out, it was really magical!”
Mums The Nerd wrote: “I didn’t know what to expect from the show but can honestly say, it was amazing, I’d recommend everyone to go and see a Disney on Ice show at least once. The shows are truly magical for all the family, we can’t wait for the next one.”
However, on TrustPilot some people said that, while the show was enjoyable, the merchandise was slightly more expensive than expected – so prepare for that if you’re after it at the show.

Iconic Red Dead Redemption 2 actor confirms appearance in GTA 6 | Gaming | Entertainment
It’s now officially less than six months until GTA 6 will be in the hands of players, and the excitement is palpable. With every other game releasing in 2026 dodging the November release window like the plague, it’s pretty clear that absolutely everyone and their mums will be loading into Vice City once November 19 rolls around.
Despite the six months countdown to GTA 6 officially underway, we still know very little about the gameplay and story. While we’ve seen dual protagonists Jason and Lucia in the first couple of trailers, but Rockstar Games still hasn’t confirmed their voice actors, nor anyone else who will be appearing in its latest open world outing.
However, one actor has spoken out ahead of the game’s release date to confirm that they will appear in the game – and they’re a familiar face from Red Dead Redemption 2.
Jim Santagaleo plays Simon Pearson in Rockstar’s most recent cowboy adventure, and he’s confirmed to his fans that he will also appear in the studio’s next project, albeit in a small role.
“I’ve done some cool stuff in GTA 6 but small,” he tells viewers of his TikTok livestream, where around 150 viewers were watching. While many didn’t catch the confession live, it didn’t take long for the clip to be posted to Reddit, where hundreds more witnessed the clip.
“We need his stew in GTA 6,” reads one comment. Another adds: “I hope Pearson has a cookbook cameo, like how Jack Marston had his book cameo in GTA V.”
Santageleo doesn’t confirm what his role in GTA 6 is going to be, but given he seems to be pretty blaze about any NDAs or confidentiality agreements, we can assume it’s probably something small.
Rockstar is known for rehiring actors that it’s worked with before. Benjamin Byron Davis, who voices Dutch in Red Dead Redemption 2, also previously appeared in GTA San Andreas as an oil rig worker.
Fans are expecting Trailer 3 for GTA 6 to drop any week now, with some fans going to extortionate measures to predict when Rockstar is planning to release new footage.
Who do you think Santagaleo will play in GTA 6?
