Cinderella's stepsisters take centre stage

Steps turns the familiar Cinderella story on its head: sick of living in Cinderella's shadow, Lilith (voiced by Wong) steals the Fairy Godmother's (Midler) magic wand and hijacks the Royal Ball with her sister Margot (Hsu), breaking the Cinderella story as we know it and dooming the kingdom to the tyrannical rule of Priscilla (Nikki Glaser). Lilith must then team up with Cinderella (Seyfried) to fight biker trolls, outrun henchmen and escape the Screaming Woods on an epic quest to save the kingdom, and most importantly, their relationship.

Star-studded cast, with a new song from BLACKPINK's Jennie

Also stepping out for the premiere were co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, Young Mazino, Damian Priest and Luna Hamilton, who voices the young version of Margot. K-pop star Jennie, best known for BLACKPINK, released a new single, “Someone to Hold,” from the upcoming movie, saying she was excited to join the Steps family and make her first song for an animated film. Steps debuts on Netflix on November 20.
