'Zootopia 2': Here's what we know about the cast, plot and release date

Disney is set to take audiences back to the bustling world of Zootopia with yet another sequel, where fan-favorite duo Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde return for their biggest challenge yet.

The upcoming sequel promises to expand the universe of the 2016 Oscar-winning film with new locations, fresh species, and a deeper look into the animal metropolis that captured hearts worldwide.

This time, the beloved bunny-cop and her sly fox partner are drawn into a high-stakes case that pushes them beyond familiar streets and into the hidden edges of Zootopia.

A series of mysterious disturbances from power outages to unexplained disappearances lead them to a cunning new villain, Gary De’Snake, a reptilian mastermind voiced by Oscar-winner Ke Huy Quan.

As the investigation unfolds, Judy and Nick find themselves exploring undiscovered reptile territories, testing their instincts, teamwork, and trust in one another.

Zootopia 2 also delves deeper into the city’s complex social structure, exploring how different species coexist when their worlds begin to collide.

Returning directors promise the same mix of humor, heart, and sharp social insight that made the original a global hit, but with an even grander scope.

With Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman reprising their iconic roles, Zootopia 2 is shaping up to be a bold, adventurous continuation of the franchise — one that challenges both its heroes and its audience to see Zootopia in a whole new light.
