Walton Goggins is drawing new attention after Disney confirmed his voice role in Hexed, an original animated film scheduled for November 2026. D23’s coverage of the Disney Entertainment Showcase identified Goggins as the voice of Beef Roger Crummchuk, while Disney’s official film page lists the character in the movie’s cast materials.

Beef is described as a magical three-eyed cat who forms an uneasy alliance with Billie Doe and her mother Alice. The character’s role places Goggins in a very different performance format from his live-action work in projects such as Fallout and The White Lotus, even though the voice still depends on timing, attitude and character detail.

D23 presented the casting as part of a broader update for Hexed. Hailee Steinfeld voices Billie Doe, a teenager who discovers hidden magical abilities, and Rashida Jones voices Alice. The story takes the family beyond the suburbs toward a magical realm called Hexe, according to Disney’s event material.

Disney lists November 25, 2026, as the film’s release date on the D23 event page. Release dates can be adjusted, so audiences should check Disney’s current movie listing closer to opening. The official page confirms the film and the character association but does not promise a particular amount of screen time for Beef.

The casting is notable because it gives Goggins a role in an original animated property rather than an established adaptation. Original animation carries its own risk: audiences have to understand a new world and a new set of characters without the built-in familiarity of a comic-book or game franchise.

The trend around Goggins is therefore connected to a concrete casting update rather than an unverified rumour about his personal life. D23 supplied the event announcement, and Disney supplies the current character credit. Those two sources support the basic facts without requiring speculation about how the film will perform.

Hexed will offer the next test when audiences see the finished film. For now, the confirmed story is that Walton Goggins will voice Beef Roger Crummchuk, a magical cat whose uneasy alliance with the film’s young heroine is expected to add a mischievous presence to Disney’s November release.
