Amidst the buzz of celebrities taking on new projects, Bette Midler steps into the spotlight once again with a captivating role in Netflix’s upcoming animated film, “Steps.” Known for her iconic performances in “Hocus Pocus” and other beloved classics, Midler brings her charm and charisma to the big screen once more, this time lending her voice to the whimsical character of the Fairy Godmother in a reimagined Cinderella story. Expressing her excitement for the role, Midler shares, “The beloved Fairy Godmother has good intentions, but she’s a little bit of a bumbler and a schemer in this version. I’m thrilled to be a part of this cast!”
Joining a talented ensemble including Ali Wong, Amanda Seyfried, and Stephanie Hsu, Midler adds her flair to the magical world of “Steps.” Seyfried takes on the role of Cinderella, while Hsu and Wong portray her stepsisters, each with a unique twist on the classic characters. Netflix encourages viewers to reconsider their perceptions of the stepsisters, hinting at unexpected partnerships and thrilling adventures in the kingdom.
Directed by Alyce Tzue, “Steps” delves into the tale of two sisters discovering their similarities in a fairytale kingdom. The story unfolds with whimsy and charm, offering a fresh perspective on traditional narratives and inviting audiences to explore the bonds that connect us all.
This latest project for Midler comes hot on the heels of the confirmation of “Hocus Pocus 3,” where she will share the screen with Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy once again. Earlier this year, fans were delighted by Midler’s reunion with her “Beaches” co-star Barbara Hershey, showcasing their enduring friendship at the No Kings rally in March.
Looking ahead, Midler has more in store for audiences, including a role in the Jonah Hill dramedy “Cut Off” and a special appearance at the Rise Up, Sing Out concert in New York City. With a diverse range of projects on the horizon, Midler continues to captivate audiences with her timeless talent and magnetic presence on screen.
As “Steps” prepares for its Netflix premiere later this year, fans eagerly anticipate the magical journey that Midler and her co-stars will embark upon, bringing enchantment and excitement to screens everywhere.
