Stewart is joined in the cast by T.J. Miller (Deadpool), as Gene, Jennifer Coolidge (2 Broke Girls), as Mary Meh and fellow Englishman James Cordon (The Late Late Show With James Cordon), as Hi-5.
The Emoji Movie will be directed by Tony Leondis, who is no stranger to animated movies, having made his directorial debut with Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch.
This little snippet of an interview is probably the best marketing move The Emoji Movie didn’t intentionally initiate.
If the movie can bottle some of Stewart’s warm humor in their final product, it may yet come out and surprise people.
