Disney declined comment.
Details as to Jacinto’s role are under wraps, as is the plot of the film, which will shoot this summer in Los Angeles.

Constantly at odds with each other due to their differing perspectives on life, they find themselves magically swapping bodies after a mysterious fortune cookie incident at a Chinese restaurant. As Tess wakes up in Anna’s body and vice versa, they are forced to live each other’s lives for a day.
The film is based on the same-name children’s book by Mary Rodgers, which was previously adapted into a 1976 film starring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster as mother and daughter.
Best known for starring opposite Kristen Bell and Ted Danson on Michael Schur’s hit NBC comedy The Good Place, which garnered 13 Emmy nominations across its four seasons, Jacinto has also been seen starring on the series Nine Perfect Strangers and Brand New Cherry Flavor from Hulu and Netflix, respectively.
