Disney is adding Oscar winner Jodie Foster and actor Walton Goggins to the voice cast of its upcoming animated feature “Hexed.” The casting is announced at the Disney Entertainment Showcase during the D23 fan event in Anaheim, California.
Foster is set to voice Queen Celeste, described as a “devious witch queen,” marking her first time voicing a character in a Disney film, according to her remarks at the event. Walton Goggins will voice Beef Roger Crummchuk, a three-eyed cat. Both outlets report that the announcements are part of Disney’s broader presentation of the film.
While the coverage focuses on the same two additions, the outlets differ slightly in how they frame the details. Deadline emphasizes Foster’s background and statement about having never previously voiced a Disney character, while Variety highlights the character descriptions, including the roles of both Foster and Goggins. Both accounts confirm the D23 announcement and the cast additions for “Hexed.”
