The film will have new songs composed by Lin-Manuel Miranda in collaboration with Alan Menken, who wrote the original tracks of the 1989 animation with Howard Ashman. The premiere is scheduled for May. But Bailey also takes on another iconic role, that of young Nettie Harris The Color Purple, whose musical adaptation based on the Broadway show arrives at the end of the year, directed by Blitz Bazawule, with a strong cast, consisting of Aunjanue Ellis, Danielle Brooks, HER, Fantasia and Ciara, among others.

But, due to lack of interesting characters, she ended up giving up pursuing her artistic career. The return of him took place in 2022, with All everywhere at the same time, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe and is expected to compete for the Oscar for best supporting actor. In 2023, he is also in the second season of Loki and appears inside Chinese born in America along with his cast mates in All everywhere at the same time Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu.
