One of the biggest standouts is introducing multiple new characters, including a hooded figure who appears to be the film’s main villain. Though their identity remains hidden, the characters’ design and presence suggest a significant threat that Judy and Nick must face head-on.

It’s clear that Zootopia 2 is set to explore new corners of the animal metropolis, pushing its world-building further than ever before.
What’s the Plot of Zootopia 2?
The sequel reunites fan-favorites Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as they take on a brand-new case that could shake the very foundations of Zootopia.
This time, Detectives Hopps and Wilde must go undercover in Marsh Market, a shady, fog-drenched corner of the city, as they follow the trail of a cunning and mysterious reptile. What starts as a routine investigation quickly spirals into a deepening mystery that threatens to unravel the harmony Zootopia has worked so hard to build.
The film promises to explore stunning new districts, introduce a host of fresh characters, and bring back the wit, charm, and emotional punch that made the first movie an instant classic.
Zootopia Comes to Life at Animal Kingdom
In celebration of the sequel, Disney’s Animal Kingdom also gets a dose of Zootopia magic. Beginning this winter, the park will launch the all-new “Zootopia: Better Zoogether” stage show, just in time for the movie’s theatrical release.
Set to debut at the Tree of Life Theater, the show will feature state-of-the-art projections, original music, and a fast-paced story that brings the world of Zootopia into the heart of the park.
While Disney hasn’t officially announced character appearances yet, we’re hopeful that fan favorites Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde will return for meet-and-greets and possibly even sport new looks inspired by the upcoming film.
