WNBA standout Angel Reese is continuing her transition into Hollywood, officially joining the cast of the upcoming animated film, GOAT.<\/p>\n
The Chicago Sky forward announced Wednesday that she will voice the character Propp, a polar bear athlete, in the sports-themed action-comedy. The project is co-produced by Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry through his Unanimous Media banner and is produced by Sony Pictures Animation, the studio behind Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.<\/p>\n
Set in an all-animal universe, GOAT follows Will (voiced by Caleb McLaughlin), a small goat with ambitions of playing “roarball”\u2014a high-intensity, full-contact version of basketball dominated by larger, fiercer animals.<\/p>\n
In addition to Reese and McLaughlin, the film features an ensemble of high-profile voices, including:<\/p>\n
Stephen Curry as Lenny Williamson, a giraffe.Gabrielle Union as Jett Fillmore, a black panther.Dwyane Wade as Rosette, a bull.David Harbour as Archie Everhardt, a rhino.<\/p>\n
The film, directed by Tyree Dillihay, is scheduled for theatrical release on Feb. 13, 2026, coinciding with NBA All-Star Weekend.<\/p>\n
Reese\u2019s inclusion in the film marks another milestone in her rise as a crossover entertainment figure. While she rose to national prominence as a champion at LSU and a record-setting rookie in the WNBA, her 2025-2026 off-season has been defined by ventures outside of basketball.<\/p>\n
This past fall, the 23-year-old made her feature film debut in the political thriller A House of Dynamite, appearing in a cameo alongside Idris Elba. Reese also walked the runway for the Victoria\u2019s Secret Fashion Show in 2025, further solidifying her status as a fixture in the fashion and film industries.<\/p>\n
Reese has previously expressed an interest in pursuing acting long-term, telling reporters at recent events that she plans to work with an acting coach to refine her skills between WNBA seasons.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WNBA standout Angel Reese is continuing her transition into Hollywood, officially joining the cast of the upcoming animated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[73],"tags":[99,434],"class_list":{"0":"post-407092","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wnba","8":"tag-sports","9":"tag-wnba"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
