Nicholas Hoult is adding another surprising project to his growing filmography, taking on a family-friendly animated role while speculation continues about his chances of becoming the next James Bond.
Universal Pictures UK has unveiled the first trailer for CoComelon: The Movie, featuring Hoult as part of its voice cast. The actor, best known for his recent portrayal of Lex Luthor in Superman, voices Boba, the beloved stuffed bear owned by the show’s young protagonist, JJ. The role marks a notable change of pace from his recent appearances in blockbuster films and darker character-driven projects.
Hoult’s latest casting announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about who could take over the iconic James Bond role following Daniel Craig’s departure. The actor has reportedly screen-tested for the highly sought-after part alongside Robert Pattinson. However, no official announcement has been made regarding Craig’s successor.
Meanwhile, the newly released trailer introduces the story of CoComelon: The Movie. The adventure follows JJ as he prepares for his first day of kindergarten, an exciting but nerve-racking milestone. Wanting the comfort of his favourite stuffed bear, Boba, JJ brings the toy along to school. However, things quickly go wrong when Boba goes missing.
Determined to find his favourite companion, JJ teams up with his friends Cody, CeCe, and Nina to search for the missing bear. Their adventure eventually leads them into a magical world ruled by Princess Harmony, who has introduced one unusual rule: singing is strictly forbidden.
As the children explore this strange and unfamiliar realm, they encounter new characters and unexpected challenges while trying to recover Boba and find their way home.
Directed by Kat Good, CoComelon: The Movie features an impressive voice cast. SZA lends her voice to Princess Harmony, while Ike Barinholtz plays Chicken Peels, the princess’s right-hand enforcer. The cast also includes Connor Esterson as JJ, Camden Brooks as Cody, Olivia London Leyva as Nina, and Aerina DeBoer as CeCe, alongside Hoult as Boba.
With its colourful fantasy setting, familiar characters, and new musical adventure, the film is set to bring the popular children’s franchise to the big screen.
CoComelon: The Movie is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on February 19, 2027.
