Disney’s centennial animated celebration is now available to stream. But who stars in it? Here’s a full rundown of the Wish cast, including all voice actors and characters.
Taking the studio’s core idea of wishing on a magical star, Wish follows young Asha, who makes a wish so powerful that it’s answered by a little ball of boundless energy called Star.
With Star’s help, Asha must save her kingdom from King Magnifico and prove that when the will of one courageous human connects with the magic of the stars, wondrous things can happen.
Disney has once again pulled out all the stops with a star-studded (pun intended) Wish cast, with more than a few voices that you’ll likely recognize.

Asha: Ariana DeBose
Asha is a 17-year-old girl and the lead in Disney’s Wish cast, who wishes upon a star to help save Rosas from a terrible fate. She sees a darkness in her kingdom that no one else can, with her… ahem… wish bringing down an actual star.
She’s known for being brave and optimistic and believes that everyone in Rosas should have their wishes granted — and is determined to make that happen no matter the cost.
Ariana DeBose is best known for her role as Anita in the 2021 version of West Side Story, alongside appearances in Schmigadoon! and Netflix’s The Prom.
King Magnifico: Chris Pine
King Magnifico is the king of Rosas and is the sole keeper of peoples’ wishes. While the people of Rosas look up to him as some kind of hero, behind closed doors he is anything but.
Wish‘s Magnifico is charming and charismatic, marketing himself as an innovative mind even if it has been years since his intentions were true.
Alongside his debut directorial feature Poolman earlier this year, Chris Pine is best known for roles in Don’t Worry Darling, Wonder Woman, and Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves.

Sabino: Victor Garber
Sabino is Asha’s 100-year-old grandfather who hopes to have his wish granted by King Magnifico. Fans will need to stay seated for an extra special post-credits scene that Sabino is involved in (any guesses why?)
Victor Garber has previously starred in Titanic, Annie, and Sleepless in Seattle.
Sakina: Natasha Rothwell
Sakina is Asha’s mother in Disney’s Wish cast. She’s a loving and supportive mother, acknowledging and appreciating Asha’s interests while always being incredibly worried about her.
