By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on July 1, 2025 Photo courtesy of Lucasfilm Comment 0 Share New Share Photo courtesy of Lucasfilm Jon Favreau’s Disney+ series, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, is moving forward with some casting news. According to Deadline, the young actors Ravi Cabot-Conyers (pictured above as Wim in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and who also voiced Antonio in Encanto), Mykal-Michelle Harris (Big Little Lies, Raven’s Home), and Ryder Allen (aka young Oswald in The Penguin) have joined the series. Cabot-Conyers will play Jake, “a hardworking middle school student with a big heart,” Harris will play Jen, “an artistic middle schooler who is always ahead of the game,” and Allen will play Taylor, “a middle school student who is cautious but avoids turning down his friends.” The three will presumably be the live-action component of the animation/live-action hybrid series, with Oswald being the center of the animated part. Oswald is an iconic figure for fans of Walt Disney. Walt and Ub Iwerks created the character in 1927, before a certain mouse, but moved on to Mickey since Universal held the rights to the rabbit. In 2006, Bob Iger bought the rights to Oswald and brought the rabbit back into the Disney fold. In 2023, Oswald also entered the public domain. Other than the clue that these casting announcements give—it seems like middle schoolers will be the ones to run into Oswald—we don’t have any details on the plot yet, or when the show will make its way to Disney+.[end-mark] The post <i>Oswald the Lucky Rabbit</i> Adds <i>Skeleton Crew</i> and <i>The Penguin</i> Alums to Cast appeared first on Reactor.
