Disney recently released the official poster for Zootopia 2, teasing fans with fresh visuals ahead of the sequel’s release. Disney will release the film in U.S. theaters on November 26, 2025. While the poster drop doesn’t come with a new trailer yet, it confirms several key details about the characters and plot.
What the Poster Shows
In the new poster, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde return. They stand front and center in Zootopia’s bright, stylized cityscape. A new character, Gary De’Snake, makes his debut. He is a pit viper voiced by Ke Huy Quan. His appearance adds mystery and intrigue to the visual. The China and Korean posters highlight Gary even more. They use symbolic touches like red scarves and Year of the Snake motifs. These design choices suggest that reptile communities and culture will play a major role in the sequel’s story.
Plot & Returning Favorites
Zootopia 2 picks up with Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (voiced by Jason Bateman). Once again, they work as partners. This time, however, they investigate a new mystery connected to reptilian residents arriving in Zootopia. Furthermore, the story explores new parts of the city not shown in the first film, including marsh areas, desert expanses, and possibly hidden neighborhoods. Returnees from the original include Chief Bogo (Idris Elba), Clawhauser (Nate Torrence), and Flash (Raymond S. Persi).
Cast & Creative Team
The film reunites much of the original voice cast with new talent. Jennifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman return as Judy and Nick. Gary De’Snake, the new snake character, is voiced by Ke Huy Quan. Other additions include Fortune Feimster, Quinta Brunson, and Shakira, who appears again as Gazelle. Directors Jared Bush and Byron Howard return, with Michael Giacchino composing the score.
The visual design of the poster hints at a darker and more mysterious tone than the original. The emphasis on Gary De’Snake and reptile imagery suggests a storyline that might involve prejudice or tension between species in Zootopia. The inclusion of dynamic backgrounds, shadows, and new locales suggests expansion of the Zootopia world, visually and thematically. Fans can expect the same mix of humor, friendship, and social commentary that made the first film a hit, now amplified with new stakes.
