Netflix Animated Film ‘Steps’ Adds Daniel Radcliffe, Peter Dinklage, and Young Mazino to Cast

Netflix has expanded the voice cast for its upcoming animated feature Steps, adding Daniel Radcliffe, Peter Dinklage, and Young Mazino to the project. The film, a reimagining of the classic Cinderella fairy tale, is scheduled for release on November 20, 2025. The production shifts the narrative focus to the perspectives of Cinderella’s stepsisters, moving away from traditional villainous archetypes to provide a more three-dimensional exploration of the characters.

Cast Additions and Character Roles

According to an official announcement from Netflix’s Tudum, the new cast members will voice central figures in the reimagined story. Daniel Radcliffe is set to provide the voice for the Prince, while Peter Dinklage will voice the antagonist, Roderick. Young Mazino, known for his breakout role in Beef, will voice a character identified as a “handsome troll” named Gef.

These actors join a previously established ensemble cast. Amanda Seyfried is slated to voice the lead role of Cinderella. Ali Wong and Stephanie Hsu are cast as the stepsisters, Lilith and Margot, respectively, while Bette Midler will voice the Fairy Godmother.

Creative Direction and Production

The film is co-directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa. In statements provided to Netflix, Ripa emphasized the creative intent behind the project, noting that the production team aimed to “break the fairy-tale mold” by ensuring every character possesses depth and a path toward a resolution. The film’s premise centers on the lives of the stepsisters, offering a departure from the versions of the story where they are depicted primarily as antagonists.
