According to data from FlixPatrol, “Swapped” climbed to the second most-watched film on Netflix in the United States just one day after its debut.
A Fast Start for ‘Swapped’
Directed by Nathan Greno, “Swapped” arrives as a fantasy adventure built around transformation and coexistence, with Michael B. Jordan leading the voice cast. He is joined by Juno Temple, Tracy Morgan, Cedric the Entertainer and Justina Machado, forming an ensemble that spans comedy and drama backgrounds.
The story centers on Ollie, a young creature living in an isolated community, whose curiosity leads him into contact with other species in a divided valley. A chance encounter triggers a chain of events involving body-swapping abilities tied to mysterious pods, forcing characters from opposing groups to navigate each other’s worlds.
The project was developed under Skydance Animation, with Netflix ultimately taking over distribution as part of a broader agreement with the studio. Originally conceived under a different title, the film evolved over several years before arriving in its current form. It debuted yesterday, alongside a limited theatrical rollout.
This is Jordan’s first project following his acclaimed performance in “Sinners,” which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor. He is currently preparing for several high-profile projects, including “Miami Vice ’85,” “I Am Legend 2,” and “Creed IV.”
