Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple Join Netflix’s Animated Adventure SWAPPED
If you’re into animated movies that mix creature chaos with heart, Netflix and Skydance Animation have something cool in development. Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple are teaming up to lead the animated feature Swapped, an original comedy adventure directed by Nathan Greno, the filmmaker behind Tangled.
This movie brings together an impressive creative team and a fun premise that feels perfect for fans of animated storytelling with personality.
The film comes from writers John Whittington, Christian Magalhaes, and Robert Snow, with the story crafted by Whittington, Adam Karp, Magalhaes, Snow, and Greno.
Netflix’s official synopsis sets the stage. The movie follows a small woodland creature voiced by Jordan and a majestic bird voiced by Temple. These two animals are natural sworn enemies in The Valley until they magically switch bodies.
Forced into an unexpected partnership and stuck experiencing life from the other’s perspective, the pair must survive one wild adventure together.
Greno described the project with a clear sense of excitement, explaining what makes the film stand out.
“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.”
He also praised the film’s two stars and the dynamic they created during production.
“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.”
With its mix of comedy, character exploration, and body swapping twist, Swapped sounds like a fun addition to Netflix’s growing line of animated features. Jordan and Temple are sure to deliver fun performances.
