🐍 Ke Huy Quan Joins Zootopia 2 as a Slithering New Villain

Disney drops the first trailer for Zootopia 2, revealing new challenges, new characters—and one slippery snake.

Walt Disney Animation Studios just dropped a brand-new trailer for Zootopia 2, and the sequel promises an even wilder ride through the animal metropolis. Returning favorites Judy Hopps (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) are officially partners on the police force—but their bond is about to be tested like never before.

🐍 A Snake in the City: Ke Huy Quan as Gary De’Snake

The biggest surprise? Ke Huy Quan joins the cast as Gary De’Snake, a mysterious serpent who’s shaking up Zootopia’s status quo.

"Snakes aren’t exactly common in Zootopia," Nick Wilde remarks in the trailer—and that’s where the mystery begins.

Gary is no ordinary villain. Described as charismatic, cunning, and hard to track, the reptile slinks his way into town, unleashing chaos and pushing Judy and Nick to the edge of their teamwork skills.

🎭 What’s the Plot of Zootopia 2?

According to Disney’s official synopsis, the sequel follows Judy and Nick as they go undercover in entirely new parts of Zootopia to investigate a mysterious reptilian arrival.

“To crack the case, Judy and Nick must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before.”

The trailer opens with a partners' counseling session, hinting at tension between the duo even before their new mission begins.

🐾 What’s New in Zootopia?

Expect more than just another buddy-cop chase:

• New animal characters in diverse environments
• Undercover missions in uncharted city zones
• Emotional exploration of trust and teamwork
• A deeper dive into Zootopia’s hidden corners

Fans are already speculating that Gary De’Snake’s arrival could reflect deeper themes of prejudice, trust, and societal change—core ideas in the original film.
