Disney confirmed a third Zootopia film at its D23 Expo in Anaheim, where studio representatives and cast members presented the announcement to attendees. The company said the new instalment will expand the world to include birds, a plot thread hinted at during Zootopia 2 when a single feather appeared in the film’s closing moments.
Zootopia 2, released in 2025, grossed $1.86 billion worldwide. At the D23 presentation, Ke Huy Quan and Ginnifer Goodwin appeared and were named among the returning cast; Quan’s character Gary DeSnake, introduced as a reptile in the sequel, will be in the next film alongside Goodwin’s Judy Hopps. The studio did not mention Jason Bateman’s character Nick Wilde during the showcase, and Disney has not announced who will direct the third film.
Disney has scheduled Frozen III for 2027, making Zootopia 3 the studio’s second threequel in this period. Lakbima News attended the D23 presentation and confirmed the onstage appearances of Quan and Goodwin; Disney distributed the official announcement through its D23 channels during the event. Further casting and the director credit remain unconfirmed by the studio.
