Michael B. Jordan & Juno Temple Top ‘Swapped’ Animated Feature Cast

A furry new friendship adventure is just around the corner, as Netflix and Skydance Animation today revealed a new still and cast for Swapped (formerly titled Pookoo), coming in 2026. First to be announced as voice performers for the CG-animated family picture are Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan and Ted Lasso‘s Juno Temple.

Synopsis: A buddy comedy about a small woodland creature (Jordan) and a majestic bird (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.

The film is directed by Nathan Greno (Tangled) from a screenplay by John Whittington and Christian Magalhaes & Robert Snow, story by Whittington, Adam Karp, Magalhaes & Snow, and Greno.

“Swapped is an unpredictable, emotional ride — full of humor, spectacle, and heart,” said Greno. “We drew from live-action nature documentaries, exploring the complexity of a wild ecosystem to capture something that feels vibrant and deeply human. Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple brought such warmth and authenticity to the film. Every moment between them feels alive — funny one second, deeply moving the next. Their chemistry lifts the story and gives Swapped its wings.”

From Skydance Animation (Luck), Swapped is executive produced by  John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg and Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews.
