Bruno Mars is getting his own Disney movie. Deadline reports that the singer has signed a deal with the studio to produce and star in a narrative feature film including original music written and performed by Mars himself.

Mars doesn’t have a lot of acting experience, but he appeared in the movie Honeymoon In Vegas as a child actor and voiced a singing Spix’s macaw named Roberto in the 2014 animated feature Rio 2. He’s also pulled double duty as host and musical guest of Saturday Night Live and is all-around a consummate performer.

Disney also recently signed a huge deal with Lin-Manuel Miranda to distribute the filmed version of his blockbuster stage musical Hamilton. That movie, which will feature a performance from the original Broadway cast taped in 2016, will open in theaters in October 2021.
