Per Bleacher Report, the Chicago Sky star revealed Wednesday, January 14, that she has been cast in GOAT, an upcoming animated film co-produced by Stephen Curry.
Reese won’t be the only basketball star lending her voice to the project. Two-time WNBA champion and reigning league MVP A'ja Wilson is also part of the cast, further tying the film to the women’s game.

GOAT centers on an unlikely hero: a goat determined to compete in “roarball,” a high-contact sport that closely mirrors basketball, despite being undersized compared to the larger, more powerful animals he faces. Curry, who has long supported projects spotlighting sports, competition, and perseverance, is among the film’s producers.
For Reese, the role marks her second feature-film appearance. She previously made a brief cameo in A House of Dynamite, a dramatic thriller that examines a missile attack on the United States from several different perspectives. While GOAT's tone is much lighter, the opportunity represents another step in her growing crossover appeal.
Reese, 23, entered the WNBA with significant visibility after helping LSU Tigers women's basketball win a national championship and becoming one of the most talked-about players in college basketball.
That attention followed her into the pros, where she delivered a record-setting rookie season and quickly established herself as one of the league’s most marketable young stars.
Her off-court profile continues to rise. Last fall, Reese walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, later hinting that her partnership with the brand was just getting started.

Wilson’s involvement adds even more star power to the project. As the face of the Las Vegas Aces franchise and one of the most dominant players of her generation, her participation underscores the film’s deep connection to basketball culture.
