Development

In June 2016, Byron Howard and Rich Moore were in talks about the possibility of a Zootopia sequel.[1][2] In February 2023, during the Q1 earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger confirmed that the sequel was in active development.[3] Later that day, screenwriter Jared Bush confirmed that he is working on the film.[4] Ginnifer Goodwin, who voices Judy Hopps, told CinemaBlend that she’d like to see a role reversal between Judy and Nick in the sequel. "I would like to see Nick have to be the one to convince Judy that the world is worth fighting for". Jason Bateman, who voices Nick Wilde, also told CinemaBlend about his idea for the sequel. "The two of us [Nick and Judy]. kicking ass out there. Cleaning up the streets. We’re a couple of new cops out there. So, bad guys, be warned," he said.[5] In February 2024, Iger announced that the film, officially titled Zootopia 2, would be released in 2025.[6]
