Selena Gomez is set to join the upcoming cast of The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle, slated to be released in 2019, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The movie will be based on the 1920s series of children’s books by Hugh Lofting. Other modern version included a string of movies starring Eddie Murphy.

Currently, Selena, who just got out of rehab, is working on improving her mental health to achieve a movie career. “Having done this since I was seven, it’s probably the most comfortable I’ve ever felt,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “Even in auditions, I feel like I’m way more confident than I would’ve been in the past. I’m not focused on the things that I used to be like, ‘Do I look old enough? Do I look sexy enough? Do I look cool enough? Am I nice enough, graceful enough?’ Those sorts of things would come into my mind, but now I feel a little more liberated.”
