Michael B. Jordan and Juno Temple are about to ruffle some feathers. 

The duo star in the animated film Swapped, a Freaky Friday-like adventure set in the wild, available to stream now. Jordan and Temple join Cedric the Entertainer, Tracy Morgan, Justina Machado, Ambika Mod, and Lolly Adefope, who also lend their voices to the comedy.  

Swapped is a body swap movie unlike anything audiences have seen before,” says director Nathan Greno. “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.”

Read on for more details on this furry (and feathered!) adventure. 

Animated colorful fish with a happy expression surfaces in a forest stream, surrounded by mossy rocks and glowing purple plants in a magical, vibrant nighttime setting.

What is Swapped about? 

Head deep inside the animal kingdom, where a tiny woodland creature (voiced by Jordan) and a regal bird (voiced by Temple) 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 journey together. 

Who’s the creative team behind Swapped?

Directed by Nathan Greno (Tangled), the story is scripted by John Whittington (The Lego Batman Movie) and writing partners Christian Magalhães and Robert Snow (DuckTales, WondLa). John Lasseter, David Ellison, Dana Goldberg, and Mary Ellen Bauder Andrews will serve as producers. 

Swapped is an unpredictable, emotional ride — full of humor, spectacle, and heart,” Greno said. “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.”

When does Swapped come out?

The film is available to stream now only on Netflix.
