Voice cast

 * Letita Wright as Ōjo, the princess of the Frost Demons race, who goes througth an identity crisis due to years of discrimination towards her race by the rest of the universe. Director Beyoncé Knowles-Carter would describe the character as "quite different from the usual identity crisis. She does not wonder if she's evil. She knows that she is a good person. But since her people are quite lost themselves, she has no idea of what not being evil makes her".
 * Florence Kasumba as Senshi, Ōjo's sister, who is determined to protect her people from being harmed by the universe, leading her to a crusade to make sure the universe no longer discriminates her people. Kasuma would describe Senshi as "not necessarily evil. She does do bad things that could harm innocents, including her own people, but she does it because she thinks its the best way to protect her people. She's a misguided girl who needs a push to the right direction".
 * Angela Bassett as Meishu, the wise empress of the Frost Demons, and Ōjo and Senshi's mother.

Trivia

 * According to director Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, the film's plot would be inspired by a cut-scene from the video game Dragon Ball Heroes, which showed a hero from Frieza's race being discriminated. She would further explain that "that little shot suggested so much about what his race goes througth... things that [she] felt could be very timely and reflect the history of African dispora, and that [She] really wanted to explore".
 * This would be Beyoncé's first film to not to be a visual album.
 * This would be the first film in the DBLU to feature characters that weren't created in the manga.
