The Sesame Street movie is setting out to a star-filled extravaganza. According to Collider, Chance the Rapper is currently in negotiations with Warner Bros. to join the upcoming Sesame Street Movie.
Chance the Rapper will be playing the mayor’s aid in the movie. Just how big of a role this will be is unknown at this point.
The plot follows the various Sesame Street characters finding themselves separated from the famous street. Lost and unable to find their way back, they team up with Sally Hawthorne (Anne Hathaway), who hosts a history show, to prove that Sesame Street exists and find their way back.
The Sesame Street theme song, famously, is about asking for directions on how to get to Sesame Street, which seems like it'll be a key plot point.
Aside from the main Sesame Street cast, Hathaway is the only confirmed actor attached to the project. Comedian and writer Bo Burnham is contributing original songs to the film, hopefully adding some much needed humor to the movie.
Just like Anne Hathaway, Chance has a history with Sesame Street, having appeared previously on the show back in January 2019.
The Sesame Street movie is set to be released in 2021.
