Netflix Reveals New Look at Skydance Animation’s ‘Swapped’

A new animated adventure comedy is heading to Netflix. Swapped, directed by Nathan Greno, will feature the voices of Michael B. Jordan, Juno Temple, Tracy Morgan, and Cedric the Entertainer when it releases later this spring. So the streaming service has released new images from the upcoming release.

Swapped is a body-swap movie unlike anything audiences have seen before,” Greno explained. “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.”

The story follows a small woodland creature voiced by Jordan and a majestic bird voiced by Juno Temple, two natural enemies within the Valley. When the pair unexpectedly swap bodies, they are forced to work together to survive the challenges of their environment. Walking in each other’s feathers and fur, the unlikely duo must navigate a dangerous landscape and learn to understand life from the other’s perspective.

The voice cast also includes Justina Machado, Ambika Mod, and Lolly Adefope.

For Greno, Swapped marks his latest animated feature following his work as co-director of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Tangled, the 2010 musical fantasy that introduced audiences to Rapunzel and Flynn Rider. Greno uses a script written by John Whittington, Christian Magalhaes, and Robert Snow. John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews will serve all as producers. 

The film also continues Skydance Animation’s partnership with Netflix. Swapped will be the third Skydance Animation project released under the Netflix banner as the studio continues building its presence in the animation space.

Swapped streams exclusively on Netflix beginning May 1, 2026.
