As Diazo was not announced among the main characters, we can assume a romance between him and Ethan will not be a main plot of the film. Lucy Liu will be Callisto Mal, the head of the film’s magical setting of Avalonea.
The film will also star Dennis Quaid as Ethan’s grandfather Jaeger Clade, Jake Gyllenhaal as his son Searcher, and Gabrielle Union as Ethan’s mom and Searcher’s wife Meridian. Jaboukie Young-White will voice the teenage Ethan, who flirted with a boy named Diazo in one of the three sequences shown at the festival. Variety also reported on the film from Annecy this morning.
The first teaser trailer and poster for “Strange World” were released earlier this month and it will hit theaters (or just Disney+ in some countries) on November 23. Matthieu Saghezchi is an animation production designer who saw a sneak peek of “Strange World” at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival this morning. Just saw the very first glimpse into #Disney ‘s #StrangeWorld at the #Annecy2022 festival – it features the first openly gay teen romance in a disney feature!!! 🏳️🌈 #RepresentationMatters /H1bEjyrSV1- Matthieu Saghezchi June 17, 2022
