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 <a href=”https://www.mirror.co.uk/film/netflix-swapped-movie-cast-oscar-37135647″>the Mirror</a>.

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.
