Here's what the cast of Netflix's animated fantasy film 'Nimona' looks like in real life

"Nimona" follows the ostracized shapeshifter Nimona, who's eager to play villainous sidekick and has the ability to change into various animal and human forms. 

Chloë Grace Moretz, known for her roles in films like "Kick-Ass" and "Carrie," plays the spiteful, energetic character. As Netflix's Tudum reported, "Nimona" graphic novel author ND Stevenson took inspiration from Moretz's Hit Girl character in "Kick Ass" when first crafting the character. 

Ballister Boldheart is a prospective knight who ends up getting framed for a crime he didn't commit. After becoming public enemy number one, he teams up with Nimona to try and clear his name. 

He's played by "Rogue One" and "Sound of Metal" actor Riz Ahmed. The actor told Tudum that he was drawn to the character's need to "prove he's worthy" of becoming a knight. 

Ambrosius Goldenloin is Ballister's fellow knight and love interest who winds up torn between upholding the institution that built him and his friend. 

Eugene Lee Yang, of "Try Guys" fame, voices the character, on the heels of a voice acting role in "Star Wars: Visions" and an appearance in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Yang told Screenrant that he was drawn to the project due to his familiarity with Stevenson's work on "She-Ra and the Princesses of Power," but predominately because he knew that the film was "distinctly unapologetically a queer story."

The Director is the leader of the Institution in which both Ballister and Ambrosius trained as knights.

She's voiced by Frances Conroy, who is known for the television series "Six Feet Under," her work in multiple seasons of "American Horror Story," and "The Power of the Dog."

Sir Thoddeus Sureblade is a knight alongside Ambrosius and Ballister, although he's quite a bit more obnoxious.

He's played by Beck Bennett, who's best known for roles in "The Mitchells vs. The Machines," "Briggsby Bear," and "Saturday Night Live." 

The Squire is an "overwhelmed" assistant at the Institute, voice actor Julio Torres told Tudum.

Torres was a member of the writing staff on "Saturday Night Live," and is also known for "Los Espookys," "Shrill," and "Problemista."

The Queen is an important figure in the kingdom who director Troy Quane told Tudum "needed to exude a rebellious confidence and poise."

She's voiced by Lorraine Toussaint, who's known for her roles in "Selma," "Hudson Hawk," and "Orange Is the New Black."

Alamzapam Davis is a newscaster in the kingdom, who covers the knighting ceremony. 

She's voiced by Indya Moore, who is best known for the television series "Pose" and the film "Escape Room: Tournament of Champions."

Nate Knight is Alamzapam Davis' co-anchor. He's played by RuPaul Charles, most famously of the drag competition series "RuPaul's Drag Race."
