- Jennifer Hudson as Grizabella. Hudson stars in the film as Grizabella, a former "glamour cat" that is ostracized by the Jellicle Cats. Due to her age, she is hardly recognizable as the proud, carefree and admired cat that she once was known as.
- Taylor Swift as Bombalurina. Swift portrays Bombalurina, a flirtatious red cat that makes advances on many male cats throughout the film. The character has close relationships with fellow cats Munkustrap, Jennyanydots and Jellylorum.
- Ian McKellen as Gus the Theatre Cat. McKellen stars as Gus the Theatre Cat, an old and frail cat that narrates the story and becomes more confident as the night continues.
- James Corden as Bustopher Jones. Corden plays respected member of the Jellicle tribe Bustopher Jones. The wise cat is a regular visitor of gentlemen's clubs, though his frequent visits do not change his reputation among his peers.

Played by: Eric Underwood Admetus is a ginger and white chorus cat with no spoken lines, but plenty of strong dancing sequences—perfect for former Royal Ballet soloist Eric Underwood. Though some musical productions have renamed Admetus as Plato (both names are mentioned in “The Naming of Cats”), the film will feature them as two separate character...
Played by: Bluey Robinson Alonzo is another chorus cat, identifiable by the black patches of fur on his face and the black-and-white stripes on his head. Apart from his ensemble appearances, he has intermittent solo lines and also assists Munkustrap during the fight against Macavity. Since singer/songwriter Bluey Robinson will portray him in the fi...
Played by:Sir Ian McKellen Nicknamed “Gus,” this elderly, trembling tabby has an impressive acting history, which he recounts at length during his song (along with a few disparaging comments about how the theater isn’t what it once was, and kittens these days aren’t properly trained). Who better to play one of the Jellicles’ most well-respected the...
Played by:Taylor Swift Though Bombalurina is only mentioned by name once (in “The Naming of Cats”), she’s pretty hard to miss: the slinky, red-coated cat helps introduce Jennyanydots, the Rum Tum Tugger, Grizabella, Bustopher Jones, and Macavity. She most often sings with Demeter, her duet partner for “Macavity the Mystery Cat.”
Played by:James Corden Known as “the Brummell of cats,” this black-and-white, epicurean dandy frequents gentlemen’s clubs, wears white spats, and weighs a whopping 25 pounds. Jones’s genial manner endears him to just about everyone—not unlike James Corden.
Played by: Mette Towley With her sleek brown coat and her regal, mysterious manner, Cassandra seems like she might’ve been worshipped by ancient Egyptians in a past life. You might recognize Mette Towley, a member of Pharrell’s dance group, The Baes, from her appearances in 2019’s Hustlersand Rihanna’s “Lemon” music video—and you can be sure that s...
Played by: Jaih Betote and Zizi Strallen These striped twin tabby cats always move in unison and boast psychic abilities. Though the roles are sometimes cutfrom theatrical productions, we’ll get to see them in the film, played by hip hop dancer Jaih Betote and Zizi Strallen, best known for her work as Mary Poppins in the recent West End revival.
Played by: Daniela Norman This multicolored, slightly skittish cat usually duets with Bombalurina, and together they perform “Macavity the Mystery Cat” in full. It’s often implied that Demeter has a complicated romantic past with Macavity, who tries to abduct her during his attack. British ballet dancer Daniela Norman will star opposite Taylor Swif...
Played by:Jennifer Hudson This aging starlet is now decrepit, depressed, and shamefully rejected by the rest of the Jellicles—think Sunset Boulevard’s Norma Desmond with more self-awareness and very raggedy fur. Even if the Cats original cast recording wasn’t the soundtrack for your childhood road trips, you might have heard Grizabella’s song “Memo...
Played by: Ray Winstone and Melissa Madden Gray Growltiger, a rough-riding sea captain cat, and Griddlebone, his fluffy white lover, appear during “Growltiger’s Last Stand,” during which Gus reminisces about having played the part of Growltiger in a stage production long ago. The characters have been left out of some productions, including the 1998...
