Michael B Jordan and Juno Temple are set to star in the upcoming animated feature Swapped for Netflix and Skydance Animation. The upcoming film is directed by Nathan Greno, who co-directed Tangled (2010) along with Byron Howard. While the screenplay has been written by John Whittington, Christian Magalhaes, and Robert Snow, the story is from John Whittington, Adam Karp, Christian Magalhaes and Robert Snow, and Nathan Greno.

Swapped is set in an animal kingdom called the Valley and follows the lives of a tiny woodland creature (voiced by Jordan) and a regal bird (voiced by Temple). "When they find themselves in a body-swap mishap, the two sworn enemies are forced to walk in each other’s feathers and fur as they embark on a wild adventure together," reads the plotline.

Talking about the story, Greno said in a statement, "Swapped is an unpredictable, emotional ride — full of humor, spectacle, and heart. We drew from live-action nature documentaries, exploring the complexity of a wild ecosystem to capture something that feels vibrant and deeply human."

Jordan and Temple, the director added, deliver "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."

The film is backed by John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews. A release date for Swapped is yet to be announced by the makers.
