Weruche Opia as Agent Green, an operative of the Bureau of Subconscious Activities who Flip has been eluding. India de Beaufort as Ms. Arya, the school counselor at Nemo's school.
Agent Green might be 160 years old, but she moves fast and will stop you in your tracks at any moment. She's also after the secret map that's helping guide Flip and Nemo through Slumberland and will do anything to get her hands on it — even if it means freezing them in Slumberland for all eternity.
As a result, he's forgotten who he is in the real world and doesn't remember anything about his life before he was Flip. However, when Nemo's uncle Phillip (Chris O'Dowd) shows her some childhood videos of him and her father, everything clicks: Flip is Phillip.
During Netflix's TUDUM fan event on Saturday, fans were treated to a new clip from the upcoming film, which stars Jason Momoa as Flip, a horned 9-foot-tall monster-human hybrid who teams up with Nemo, an 11-year-old girl played by Marlow Barkley.

Is Flip a bad person in Slumberland?
Type of Villain
Flip is a major villainous protagonist in both the 1905-1923 fantasy comic strip Little Nemo in Slumberland, and in the film adaptation Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. He is Slumberland's resident clown and troublemaker.
We heard bedtime stories about Nemo's father's adventures with the mysterious, adventurous Flip in Slumberland. But then Nemo lost her father in a horrible sea storm.
Fans have been quick to praise Jason's Slumberland performance online, shouting out the actor for being even funnier than expected in the fantasy story. One viewer tweeted, "Flip in @Netflix's Slumberland is so much fun.
These are the main messages from Slumberland: Being brave is about doing what you have to do even when you're afraid. Don't let grief or death change who you are or rob you of living your life. Don't forget how to dream, and never lose your sense of wonder.
The film needed a lighthouse and two elaborate sets were built from scratch, one at the Pinewood Studios between Eastern Avenue and Commissioners Street while the top of the lighthouse was created at Ontario Place. The real structures are blended seamlessly with CGI backgrounds to create a spectacular island landscape.
Parents need to know that Slumberland is an action-packed adventure film in which characters, including a child named Nemo (Marlow Barkley), face significant danger.
Slumberland's big twist comes when Nemo discovers Flip is the persona her uncle, Phillip, developed. It turns out Peter's first mate was the younger Phillip, as both had these imaginary swashbuckling adventures together.
The final scene of Slumberland, though, flips the film on its head as it shows Nemo sleeping, happy to continue dreaming. But Pig's ear twitches, indicating it really is alive.
Flip is the boss and you must do everything he says — unless you use the double knock, also known as the outlaw code. If you disagree with Flip at any point, you can resort to the outlaw code and refuse Flip's demands.
That's the concept that Slumberland explores, with an adventure told partially in the real world but mostly in the land of dreams where anything is possible.
And while, yes, this is different than what viewers normally see of Jason onscreen, the 43-year-old told E! News he was drawn to the project because it reflects who he is on the daily as a dad to 13-year-old Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha and 15-year-old Lola Iolani, who he shares with ex Lisa Bonet.
The final scene has Nemo and Phillip going to sleep, eager to have more dream adventures, with Nemo's teddy, Pig, ending the film by twitching its ear. This hints that maybe magic exists in the Waking World, as Pig helped her in the Dream World on her mission to heal.
There are moments where the editing is so sloppy and the CGI so muddy it's physically challenging to see and comprehend what's happening on screen. While director Francis Lawrence's Slumberland takes inspiration from the comic, it fails to capture the whimsy and delight of its origins.
Momoa quickly defended himself, saying “hell no, I'm Jason Momoa. I don't stink,” before noting that he smells like fire and oil. Merced noted that the “Game of Thrones” star smells like “a lot of essential oils. But if you give me a hug, it's like a breeze that's Palo Santo coming from his armpits.”
The MPAA rating has been assigned for “peril, action, language, some thematic elements and suggestive references.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes some suggestive remarks, several scenes of people in danger in stormy seas with one leading to the death of a man, references to the death of loved ones, magical ...
The 43-year-old actor's new Netflix film Slumberland sees Momoa as Flip, an eccentric, horned outlaw who guides Nemo, played by 14-year-old Marlow Barkley, through a dreamworld.
