Xochitl Gomez Teases 'Dramatic' Role in New 'Cat in the Hat' Film: 'It's So Much Fun' (Exclusive)

Xochitl Gomez was recently announced in the cast of the new 'Cat in the Hat' animated film starring Bill Hader.

Talking with ET's Denny Directo from Monday's world premiere of Netflix's Atlas, the 18-year-old actress teased her role in the upcoming iteration of the classic Dr. Seuss story, which she stars in alongside Bill Hader and Abbott Elementary creator Quinta Brunson. No word yet on a name or description for her role, but it is confirmed that Hader, 45, will voice the iconic feline -- which he previously played in a sketch on Saturday Night Live back in 2014. Studio reps told ET in March that the film will see The Cat "spreading joy to 'happyless' kids" and taking on "his toughest assignment yet… to cheer a pair of siblings struggling with their move to a new town."
