Mars has at least one other high profile project in the works: last year, Rolling Stone  reported that Mars is working with Disney on a music film which he will co-produce and star in; the name of the film has not been announced yet. Rolling Stone reported that the project will be a “music-themed theatrical narrative feature.” This will be Marsâ first major film role; he previously voiced a character in the animated Rio 2 from 2014 and portrayed an Elvis impersonator in 1992âs Honeymoon in Vegas.
