The King of Kings (2025): Oscar Isaac Voices Jesus in Animated Epic – Final Trailer, Cast, Release Date & More

A bedtime story becomes a breathtaking journey of faith, imagination, and redemption in The King of Kings, a visually stunning animated feature arriving April 11, 2025, from Angel Studios. This star-studded reimagining of the life of Jesus Christ, told through the lens of a child’s wonder and a father’s love, is poised to be one of the year’s most spiritually moving cinematic experiences.


📖 The Story of All Stories—Told Like Never Before


The King of Kings unfolds through the eyes of young Walter Dickens, as his father—none other than Charles Dickens himself—guides him through the story of Jesus Christ. What starts as a simple bedtime tale becomes a vivid, emotional journey as Walter's imagination breathes life into every moment: from Jesus’ miracles to His passion, and ultimately, His resurrection.

“Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice.”

This unique storytelling approach brings together historical reverence and childlike wonder, presenting the Gospel in a way that’s relatable for all ages while staying true to its core message of hope, love, and redemption.


🎙️ A Divine Voice Cast


The voice cast is nothing short of heavenly, led by the powerful and soulful presence of Oscar Isaac as Jesus Christ. Joining him are:

  • Kenneth Branagh as Charles Dickens, the storyteller

  • Roman Griffin Davis (Jojo Rabbit) as Walter Dickens, the child at the heart of the journey

  • Uma Thurman as Catherine Dickens

  • Mark Hamill as King Herod

  • Pierce Brosnan as Pontius Pilate

  • Forest Whitaker as Peter

  • Ben Kingsley as High Priest Caiaphas

  • Ava Sanger, Jim Cummings, Fred Tatasciore, Dee Bradley Baker, and Vanessa Marshall round out a cast brimming with talent and emotional range.


🎨 Artistry Meets Faith


Directed by Seong-ho Jang, The King of Kings is brought to life with lush, painterly animation and emotional resonance. The visual storytelling is both breathtaking and grounded, with meticulous attention to historical and spiritual detail.


From the same creative team behind stunning Korean animation projects like Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarfs, this marks a bold and heartwarming step into faith-based storytelling on a global stage.


Composer Kim Tae-seong’s rich orchestral score elevates the narrative with a balance of grandeur and intimacy, beautifully complementing every emotional beat.


🕊️ A Message for Every Generation

Adapted loosely from Charles Dickens' lesser-known spiritual work, The Life of Our Lord, this film reintroduces Jesus not only as the Son of God, but as a living presence in the imagination and heart of a child. It reminds audiences that the message of Christ transcends time, age, and culture—and that sometimes, the purest perspective comes from a child’s eyes.


Whether you are a longtime believer or simply curious about the story that shaped the world, The King of Kings offers a fresh, heartfelt way to reconnect with the gospel.
