NBA superstar Stephen Curry is taking on his first major acting role in GOAT, a basketball-themed animated feature from Sony Pictures Animation.
The action-comedy, directed by Tyree Dillihay (Bob’s Burgers), is set in an all-animal world and follows Will, a little goat with big dreams who gets a once-in-a-lifetime shot to join the pros and play roarball – a high-intensity, co-ed, full-contact sport dominated by the fastest, fiercest animals in the world. Curry is also a producer on the feature.
Sony on Monday unveiled the main voice cast for GOAT on Monday. Joining Curry on the roarball court are Stranger Things alums Caleb McLaughlin and David Harbour; Bad Boys II actress Gabrielle Union; Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan; Black-ish actress Jennifer Lewis; actor and comedian Patton Oswalt (Ratatouille, Young Adult); and veteran writer and voice actor Nick Kroll (Big Mouth).
The star-studded voice cast was announced out of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival on Monday, June 9, where Sony screened exclusive footage of GOAT for the first time.
Curry is producing the feature together with Erick Peyton of Unanimous Media and alongside Michelle Raimo Kouyate, Adam Rosenberg, and Rodney Rothman of Modern Magic. David Schulenburg co-produced the project, with Rick Mischel and Fonda Snyder as executive producers.
The film marks Curry’s first foray into animation, but he was an executive producer on Roxann Dawson’s 2019 biopic Breakthrough, and a producer on the documentaries Sentenced and Good Shot, among other projects.
Sony Pictures Animation is releasing GOAT in collaboration with the NBA theatrically on February 13, 2026, timed to the NBA All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles, which runs Feb. 13–15.
The 40th Annecy film festival runs through June 14.
