Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino and Peter Dinklage join voice cast for Netflix’s animated ‘Cinderella’ reimagining, ‘Steps’

Netflix’s upcoming animated feature “Steps,” a reimagining of the “Cinderella” story, has added Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino and Peter Dinklage to its voice cast, according to Deadline. The casting announcements expand a project positioned as a fresh take on a familiar fairy tale within Netflix’s expanding slate of animated titles.

In the latest roles, Radcliffe will voice the Prince, Dinklage will play Roderick, and Mazino will voice Gef. The three additions follow earlier casting announcements for “Steps,” including Ali Wong, Deadline reported. Netflix has not publicly detailed plot specifics or character arcs for the newly cast roles in the reporting summarized by Deadline.

The film is directed by Alyce Tzue and John Ripa, who are listed as the project’s helming duo. Tzue and Ripa’s involvement places “Steps” within a growing category of animated, story-driven adaptations and reimaginings that rely on voice performances to define tone and character dynamics.

Deadline’s reporting frames “Steps” as a “Cinderella” reimagining, meaning it will draw from the core fairy tale’s central premise while introducing new elements through character design and casting. By adding performers known for both live-action and voice work, the production is assembling a cast intended to anchor multiple character relationships rather than a single lead performance.

Radcliffe’s casting as the Prince and Dinklage’s as Roderick indicate that the movie is planning significant supporting roles beyond the protagonist framework that typically drives “Cinderella” adaptations. Mazino’s role as Gef similarly indicates that the film may treat the story’s side characters as more than background figures, a common approach in recent animated reimaginings.

The project’s production and release timeline were not specified in the available report. Netflix has not provided additional official details in the reporting summarized by Deadline regarding when animation production will conclude or when “Steps” is expected to premiere.

As Netflix continues to build its animated lineup, casting announcements for “Steps” are likely to be among the first major public indicates about the film’s creative direction, especially for audiences following high-profile voice casting. The next confirmed updates would typically include additional cast reveals, production milestones, and eventual release planning through official Netflix communications.
