WALT Disney Animation Studios has dropped a new trailer for the sequel to the 2016 award-winning animated film“Zootopia,” featuring a new venomous cast member who will join returning characters, Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde.

Released on Wednesday, the two-minute and 21-second trailer introduced Gary De’Snake, a pit viper that infiltrated the anthropomorphic mammals-populated city of Zootopia.

Gary De’Snake is voiced by Academy Award-winning actor Ke Huy Quan, known for his roles in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” in 1984, “The Goonies” in 1985, and the 2022 critically acclaimed film, “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”

Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman will reprise their roles in the sequel as police officers Judy and Nick, respectively, who are tasked to pursue Gary De’Snake to succeed their “make-or-break assignment” given by Idris Elba’s Chief Bogo.

If they fail the mission, Judy and Nick will be split up.

“After cracking the biggest case in Zootopia’s history, rookie cops Judy and Nick find their partnership isn’t as solid as they thought when Chief Bogo orders them to join the Partners in Crisis counseling program,” the Walt Disney AnimationStudios’ press release read.

“But it doesn’t take long for their partnership to be put to the ultimate test when they find themselves on the twisting trail of a mystery tied to the arrival of a venomous snake in the animal metropolis,” it added.

Aside from Gary De’Snake, the trailer introduced another new character: quokka therapist Dr. Fuzzby, voiced by Quinta Brunson, who leads the Partners in Crisis counseling program, attended by other buddy cops with contrasting personalities.

The new trailer follows the teaser trailer released in May, which featured a mysterious cloaked figure with glowing eyes cornering Judy, Nick, and Gary De’Snake.

Directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, “Zootopia 2” is expected to be released in theaters on November 26, 2025.

Details about its Philippine premiere have yet to be announced.
