The Colombian singer said in a video: “I’m here to announce some big news. Are you ready? Gazelle is returning to Zootopia 2. That’s right. Gazelle is back and she’s got a new look, a new song and, of course, new dance moves. Just wait until you see what she and her tiger dancers have been working on. I know you’re going to love it. That’s all I can share for now, but I look forward to seeing you all on my tour next year and I’ll see you at the movies next November.”

The first movie followed a bunny rookie cop (Ginnifer Goodwin) and a cynical con-artist fox (Jason Bateman) who team up to uncover a conspiracy in a city of anthropomorphic animals.
Zootopia 2 is directed and written by Byron Howard and Jared Bush. In the sequel, rabbit cop Judy Hopps and her friend, the fox Nick Wilde, team up again to crack a new case, the most perilous and intricate of their careers. That new case revolves around Gary, a sneaky snake who is pursued by the duo. He’s voiced by Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan.
