Netflix Reveals Swapped Release Date, Teaser Art, and Cast
Netflix has revealed the release date, teaser art, and additional voice cast for Swapped, the upcoming animated adventure comedy. Swapped has been rated PG by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for action/peril and some scary images.
The film launches on the streaming service on May 1, 2026, with new cast members Michael B. Jordan, Juno Temple, Tracy Morgan, and Cedric the Entertainer.
They join the previously announced Justina Machado, Ambika Mod, and Lolly Adefope.
Swapped is a buddy comedy about a small woodland creature (voiced by Michael B. Jordan) and a majestic bird (voiced by Juno Temple) — natural sworn enemies of The Valley — who suddenly swap bodies and must team up (while walking in each other’s feathers and fur) to survive the wildest adventure of their lives.
“Swapped is a body-swap movie unlike anything audiences have seen before,” says director Nathan Greno (Tangled). “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.”
John Whittington and Christian Magalhaes & Robert Snow wrote the screenplay for the film, which features a story by Whittington, Adam Karp, Christian Magalhaes & Snow, and Greno.
The Swapped producers for Skydance Animation include John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews. The music is by Siddhartha Khosla.
