Article Summary

Zootopia 2 expands its cast with Brenda Song, Macaulay Culkin, Andy Samberg, and David Strathairn.

The new actors voice members of the Lynxley family, pivotal to Zootopia’s unique climate-controlling technology.

Disney aims for another box office hit after the first Zootopia’s billion-dollar success and Elio’s underperformance.

The casting announcement may come late, but voice work for animated films often wraps up quickly and quietly.

Zootopia 2 is right around the corner, but the thing about animated movies is that you can announce voice cast additions very late in the game, and it really doesn’t matter one way or another. If someone only has a few lines in a film, they could get that voice work done in a day or two. So people might look at this new casting announcement from The Wrap with some caution because everyone is looking for behind-the-scenes production drama these days. The reality is that the additions of Brenda Song, Macaulay Culkin, Andy Samberg, and David Strathairn could have happened months ago, and we’re just learning about it now. The Wrap also has some story details about the family that everyone will portray.

“They will play the Lynxleys, an old family in Zootopia who are responsible for building the weather walls that help the various biomes function. Samberg is Pawbert Lynxley, the easy-going runt of the powerful Lynxley family; Strathairn is Milton Lynxley, a distinguished business-mammal and the patriarch of one of Zootopia’s oldest and most prestigious families; Culkin is Cattrick Lynxley, the ambitious eldest son of the Lynxley family; and Song is Kitty Lynxley, the sharp-tongued daughter of the Lynxley family.”

The first Zootopia is a member of the billion-dollar box office, and considering how Elio underperformed at the box office, you know that Disney is hoping Zootopia 2 will hit big in November.
