Justin Bieber Is Playing Cupid In A New Animated Musical

Just call Justin Bieber the god of love.


The pop superstar took a break from selfies with partner Hailey Bieber to post something a little bit different to his official Instagram account. With an eas snap, he teased his role in the upcoming animated musical Cupid.


The Biebs shared a portrait of a brooding, animated Cupid with majestic feathered wings. Though Cupid is facing away in the shot, it's clear the character is meant to mirror Bieber.


Justin has been confirmed to voice Cupid himself while in the feature, which will follow the mythological story of Cupid and Psyche. This tale as old as time is meant to signify the initial movie of the new cinematic universe called "MythoVerse," which will introduce various characters and stories pulled straight out of Greek and Roman mythology.


The original tale of Cupid and Psyche was a little bit of an elaborate one. Psyche was mentioned to be the second coming of the passion goddess Venus, which offended the vain queen, as her worshipers fell for Psyche alternatively. Venus alternatively asked her son Cupid to shoot Psyche with an arrow so that she may fall in love with something ugly. The plan backfires, though, and Cupid scratches himself with his own arrow and falls in love with Psyche himself.


Thus commences a lengthy and convoluted story about Psyche and her being forced to marry a weird dragon-like creature, although actually getting with Cupid alternatively. It's all very peculiar, and that probably won't be what occurs in this musical. Yet that's the gist of the original story, anyway.


At any rate, that's about all we know for now about what to expect from the movie. Hopefully Justin will visualize fit to post some extra teasers further down the line. It definitely sounds like an intriguing feature, at the very least.
