Disney has posted a casting call for a character look alike for Bruno from Disney’s Encanto. This is not for any specific event but instead for a future use of the character potentially for future special events. In Encanto, Bruno is the youngest child of Alma and Pedro and has the gift of precognition. This isn’t necessarily a welcome gift to the family when his news for the future often wasn’t what they wanted to hear.
The casting call can be found on DisneyAuditions.com and includes the following information:

This would not be the first that Bruno has been cast and then seen in a Disney park. Last year, Bruno made his debut in a Disney theme park at Disney California Adventure for the Oogie Boogie Bash. This is the Disneyland Resort’s Halloween Party. It is unknown at this point if he will be returning for this year’s Oogie Boogie Bash.
