Soul will also feature Phylicia Rashad, Daveed Diggs, and Questlove. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will handle the original score, while Jon Batiste will contribute the original music for the movie that will hit theaters on June 19, 2020. The release date is just a few months after Onward (March 6). The elf-focused fantasy flick will star Chris Pratt and Tom Holland, who hasn't split with Disney even though Spider-Man has. The films will be the first non-sequel Pixar entries since 2017's Coco.
