Everything To Expect From Zootopia 2

Zootopia had a definitive ending, with Nick Wilde joining Judy on the police force, the pair becoming partners as cops in the city. Bellweather’s conspiracy was also halted, meaning there are no outstanding obstacles the duo are expected to face in the upcoming movie. However, since the first film involved them uncovering a criminal movement to drive predators out of society, the sequel will likely have a different kind of organization the pair will have to go up against. It could also focus on their friendship or a familiar character from the first movie.

Since there haven’t been any details about the movie yet, there are plenty of different subjects the movie could tackle. It’s possible Zootopia 2 features a Nick and Judy romance, or it could keep them as platonic friends solving crimes together. No matter their relationship by the start of the film, though, whatever adventure they embark upon will likely maintain the same type of social commentary as the original. This could range from another ploy to drive predators out of society, to something that now threatens prey.

Given the diverse nature of the city itself, there are plenty of possible avenues for Zootopia 2 to explore when it comes to the obstacles Judy and Nick are going to end up facing. Their adventures could also more heavily involve familiar faces like Benjamin, Mr. Big, or Finnick, any of whom could have a major part to play in whatever comes next for the franchise. With voice acting for the movie only just beginning, though, it could be some time before more details about the film’s plot get revealed.
