The British actress is playing a "Queen and the mother to Tony Revolori’s character who takes part in the quest," reports Deadline's Andreas Wiseman, adding that "Garcia’s role is a small speaking part and the actress may ultimately only appear in one episode. The casting also marks the first known time a trans actor has portrayed a cis character in a Disney+ film or series. During the shoot, we hear there was pride and support among many of Garcia’s colleagues about her casting."
