How to watch 'Swapped'
The film is set to premiere on Netflix on Friday, May 1. There is no specific time listed for the movie's release.
In an interview with Netflix's companion site Tudum, "Swapped" director Nathan Greno described the film as "a body swap movie unlike anything audiences have seen before.”
“In this world, the creatures of the valley exist on a spectrum between plant and animal, creating a wild ecosystem," Greno told Tudum. "At the center of the film is the smallest creature in the valley, voiced by Michael B. Jordan, who suddenly finds himself swapped into a completely different body and thrust into a massive, unpredictable world that turns his entire life upside down and forces him to experience life from a completely different perspective.”
