As with his appearance on a rock album, the corroborating sources are confirming this rather quickly:
"Is Pope Francis gunning for the EGOT? Just a few months after releasing his debut rock record, Wake Up!, His Holiness is now set to appear in a feature film.
Beyond the Sun, from AMBI Pictures, is a family film about children from different cultures learning to emulate the apostles and understand the message of Jesus’ parables. Pope Francis will portray himself in the film, having inspired its creation by asking the filmmakers to make a children’s movie about Jesus’ teachings. All proceeds from Beyond the Sun will go to two charities for at-risk youth, El Almendro and Los Hogares de Cristo, both located in Francis’ native Argentina."

Also confirmed by Variety, adding:
"Principal photography is slated to begin early this year in Italy. Ambi will oversee worldwide distribution for “Beyond the Sun” through its Los Angeles-based international sales division.
Ambi’s slate includes a remake of Christopher Nolan’s “Memonto”; “Lamborghini – The Legend,” a biopic on Lamborghini founder Ferruccio Lamborghini; “Septembers of Shiraz,” starring Salma Hayek and Adrien Brody; “This Beautiful Fantastic,” starring Jessica Brown Findlay and Tom Wilkinson; the Federico Fellini documentary “The Man of La Dolce Vita”; and James Franco’s “In Dubious Battle,” starring Franco, Nat Wolff, Selena Gomez, Vincent D’Onofrio, Robert Duvall, Ed Harris and Bryan Cranston."

This is win-win for a lot of people.
