The Famous Cast of ‘Zootopia 2’: Meet the Voice Actors

Ginnifer Goodwin and Jason Bateman return to lead Zootopia 2 as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde. However, in this film, Nick has taken on a new job alongside Judy, and the duo is now officially working in the Zootopia Police Department together.  

Outside of the mega-animated Disney franchise, Goodwin starred in ABC’s Once Upon a Time from 2011-2018 and also led the 2009 rom-com He’s Just Not That Into You. Bateman most recently starred in Netflix’s miniseries Black Rabbit, and previously appeared in Ozark and Arrested Development.

Ke Huy Quan joins Zootopia 2 as one of the new main characters. Portraying Gary De’Snake who is (you guessed it!) a pit viper snake, he’s striving to bring reptiles back into Zootopia while also proving that his family had a hand in making the city what it is today. 

Quan joins the voice cast in one of his latest high-profile roles. He notably won his first Oscar almost three years ago for his role in Everything Everywhere All at Once, and since starred in Universal Pictures’ 2025 film Love Hurts. Quan will next star in Lionsgate’s action thriller Fairytale in New York.

Another new addition to the cast list, comedian Fortune Feimster serves as the voice for Nibbles Maplestick, a beaver. Nibbles has quite the modern occupation, being a podcaster who loves to discuss conspiracy theories. She ends up helping Nick and Judy in their big case that encompasses the plot of Zootopia 2. 

Feimster is known for her work as a stand-up comedian. She joined the Groundlings in 2005, and has since went on to star in several of her own comedy specials, including Sweet & Salty (2020), Good Fortune (2022) and Crushing It (2024), which are all backed by Netflix. Feimster has also acted in Office Christmas Party and FUBAR. 

Quinta Brunson appears in the sequel as Dr. Fuzzby, a quokka who works as a therapy animal. She crosses paths with Judy and Nick when they’re forced to attend her “partners in crisis” workshop.

Brunson created, writes and stars in ABC’s Abbott Elementary, which has earned her a total of 12 Emmy nominations and two wins. She’ll next star in Universal Pictures’ comedy Par for the Course alongside Stephanie Hsu and Warner Bros.’ upcoming animated Bill Hader-led Cat in the Hat.

The Lynxley family play a big role in Zootopia 2, Andy Samberg plays the youngest member of the family, aka Pawbert Lynxley. The Emmy Award winner worked on Saturday Night Live from 2005-2024 as a writer and cast member, and has additionally acted in projects including Palm Springs, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Good Burger 2. 

David Strathairn plays Milton Lynxley, the head of the Lynxley family who is intent on stopping Judy and Nick. Strathairn earned his sole Oscar nomination for his Good Night, and Good Luck., and has appeared in additional projects including L.A. Confidential, 2012’s Lincoln and Godzilla.

Idris Elba returns as Chief Bogo, chief of the Zootopia Police Department. And this time, he’s not just Judy’s boss, but also Nick’s! 

Elba is no stranger to the spotlight. He’s earned seven Emmy nominations across his career, with the majority of the nods stemming from his leading role in Luther. Elba recently starred in the Apple TV+ series Hijack, and previously appeared in the Oscar-nominated Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and voiced Knuckles in the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. 

Shakira is another recurring cast member from the Zootopia movies, voicing none other than Zootopia’s favorite popstar Gazelle. Aside from lending her voice to the character, she serves as the head of the film’s musical efforts, with “Try Everything” serving as a standout song from the original soundtrack and “Zoo” from the 2025 sequel. 

Patrick Warburton plays Mayor Winddancer, the new mayor of Zootopia in the sequel. Mayor Winddancer is a Stallion horse who, before getting into politics, was an actor. 

It’s safe to say this isn’t Warburton’s first time working as a voice actor. He’s starred in a multitude of animated projects, including as Kronk in The Emperor’s New Groove, several characters on Family Guy and The Bee Movie.

After voicing Duke Weaselton in Zootopia, Alan Tudyk revisited the role in the sequel. He has been nominated for two Emmy Awards, and has appeared in projects including Resident Alien, I, Robot and A Knight’s Tale. 

Like many of the actors in the Zootopia 2 cast, Tudyk has done a lot of voice work, with roles in Frozen; Ice Age; Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked; Wreck-It Ralph; Big Hero 6; Moana and WondLa, among others.

Macaulay Culkin and Brenda Song are married in real life, but they voice siblings in Zootopia 2. They voice Cattrick and Kitty Lynxley, who are both part of the powerful Lynxley family. 

Culkin is renowned for starring in the Home Alone franchise, while Song broke out during her days on Disney, starring in The Suite Life of Zack & Cody (and The Suite Life on Deck, of course).

Ed Sheeran makes a brief appearance in Zootopia 2 as Ed Shearin, a barber sheep. While Sheeran appeared in various TV shows and movies, he’s better known for his musical career. He’s received 17 Grammy nominations (and four wins) so far, and he’s known for his hits like “Shape of You,” “Thinking Out Loud” and “Perfect.” 

Like a few other actors on this list, Dwayne Johnson makes a very limited cameo in the latest Zootopia installment. He voices Zeke, a dik-dik who finds himself stuck inside a tuba. 

Johnson began his career as a professional wrestler and has transitioned onto the silver screen in many films, including Black Adam; the Fast & Furious franchise; Moana and the latest Jumanji series, among others.

The current CEO of The Walt Disney Co. earned first acting credit with Zootopia 2. Yes, Bob Iger actually appears in the animated movie as Bob Tiger, who is, well, a tiger! 

Yes, it’s a blink-and-you-might-miss-it cameo, but Robert Irwin does appear in Zootopia 2. The Dancing With the Stars winner appears as a koala named none other than Robert Furwin, who works as an airport ticket agent.
