Disney and Pixar have an early Christmas present for audiences as they have unveiled new character posters for their upcoming fantasy adventure Onward a day ahead of a new trailer, while also announcing an expansion of its cast with the additions of Ali Wong (Always Be My Maybe), Lena Waithe (Queen & Slim) and Mel Rodriguez (The Last Man on Earth). The posters can be viewed in the gallery below!
Set in a suburban fantasy world, Disney•Pixar’s Onward introduces two teenage elf brothers who embark on an extraordinary quest to discover if there is still a little magic left out there.
The cast will feature the voices of MCU stars Chris Pratt (Avengers: Infinity War), Tom Holland (Spider-Man: Far From Home), portraying the roles of elf brothers Barley Lighfoot and Ian Lightfoot, respectively. The film will also star Julia Louis-Dreyfus (Veep) as Laurel Lightfoot, and Octavia Spencer (The Shape of Water) as the Manticore.
The feature will be directed by Dan Scanlon (Monsters University) and produced by Kori Rae. Scanlon said that Onward was inspired by his own relationship with his brother.
