Andy Serkis’ Animal Farm adaptation will feature an all-star voice cast, including stars from Stranger Things, The Big Bang Theory, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Based on George Orwell’s novella of the same name, the upcoming animated movie, slated for a 2025 release, follows a group of farm animals who rebel against humans, setting out to be their own masters. The book is often read in high school, as it serves as an allegory for the Russian Revolution and provides timeless political commentary.
The full voice cast of Serkis’ Animal Farm has been announced via Variety, featuring many well-known names from successful franchises. Seth Rogen (The Interview), Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things), Steve Buscemi (The Sopranos), Glenn Close (101 Dalmatians), Laverne Cox (Orange is the New Black), Kieran Culkin (A Real Pain), Woody Harrelson (Venom: Let There Be Carnage), Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Kathleen Turner (The Estate) and Iman Vellani (Ms. Marvel) have lent their voices to the project. Along with directing, Serkis will also be voicing at least one character.

Rogen’s Napoleon is at the center of Animal Farm‘s plot as the new leader of the animals after the human owners are overthrown.
