Roman Reigns and World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk are starring together as zebra buddy-cops in Zootopia 2. WWE Legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will also be part of this.
The sequel to the original billion-dollar hit Zootopia (which won an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature) is highly anticipated. Zootopia 2 is set to release on November 26th.
According to Fightful Select, the casting did not begin with Disney reaching out to WWE directly. Instead, it started with talent agent Nick LoPiccolo, who actively pitched ideas to Disney for several roles in the film. His agency regularly contacted studios with casting suggestions, and in this case, one of those pitches included Reigns and Punk.
Disney responded positively to the idea, particularly liking the concept of The Tribal Chief and The Best In The World working together in the same scene. Punk agreed to the role first, while Reigns came on board later. Fightful noted that this decision caught WWE by surprise, as there wasn’t an expectation he would accept the offer.
Ultimately, The OTC chose to do the project because he knew his children would enjoy seeing him in an animated Disney movie and wanted to be involved for their sake.
Speaking of Reigns and Punk, they are on the same team for this Saturday’s Men’s WarGames Match at Survivor Series 2025, where they will battle Brock Lesnar, Drew McIntyre, Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul.
