Hexed’s new trailer: voice cast and the US–UK cinema-date difference
Disney’s October 12 trailer introduces Billie’s journey into Hexe and newly announced voices. The US cinema date is November 25; Disney’s UK announcement uses November 27. Neither establishes a Disney+ date.
Disney released a new Hexed trailer on October 12, ahead of its November 25 cinema release. The animated story follows teenager Billie and her mother Alice into a realm of witches. The trailer is promotional footage, not the full film becoming available to stream.
Billie and Alice anchor the adventure
Disney’s October 12 announcement identifies Billie as an impulsive teenager whose hidden magical abilities take her from suburbia into Hexe. Her cautious mother joins her, and family mysteries become part of the adventure. Hailee Steinfeld voices Billie; Rashida Jones voices Alice. These are the announced premise and roles, not an account of how the film ends.
A new world, with a family relationship at its centre
Director Fawn Veerasunthorn told Reuters that the mother and daughter are trying to repair a strained relationship. She said the team built much of the witch realm rather than adapting an existing property. That describes the filmmakers’ intention; it does not establish the quality of the finished film.
TheWrap’s separate studio visit included more than 30 minutes of footage and interviews with the creative team. Its preview describes a darker tone and a contemporary setting. That is the reporter’s assessment of partial footage, not our own viewing experience or a final age classification.
Which voices belong to which characters
The newly announced key roles pair Henry Winkler with Nigel, a nervous potoo bird with knowledge of Hexe, and Dan Stevens with Hieronymous, Queen Celeste’s grand councillor. Walton Goggins voices the three-eyed cat Beef Roger Crummchuk; Jodie Foster voices Queen Celeste. Keeping voice actors paired with character names makes the trailer easier to follow.
The official directing credits list Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand, with Josie Trinidad as co-director. That is more precise than collapsing all three credits into the same role.
What is confirmed about watching it
US coverage lists November 25, 2026, while Disney’s UK press announcement specifies November 27. Those are different market dates, not two interchangeable worldwide openings. Readers should keep the country attached when saving a date or comparing a trailer with a local listing.
The announced launch is theatrical. None of these sources establishes a Disney+ streaming date or guarantees showtimes in a particular town. For opening-week plans, check local cinema listings nearer the date; for home viewing, wait for a dated distributor or platform announcement.
