As previously reported, top WWE stars CM Punk and Roman Reigns will have voice roles in the upcoming Disney animated sequel, “Zootopia 2”. In the latest Fightful Select Answers, Sean Ross Sapp addressed how they got cast in the film.
According to Sapp, agent Nick LoPiccolo contacted Disney to pitch ideas for roles, and they were particularly interested in having Punk and Reigns voice two zebras as a duo. Sapp noted that Punk initially agreed to the role, while Reigns decided to join a little later. WWE was reportedly surprised to learn that Reigns was interested in the opportunity, as he wanted to take on the role because his kids would enjoy it.
“Zootopia 2” is directed by Jared Bush and Byron Howard, based on a script by Bush. In addition to Punk and Reigns, the film features the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Ke Huy Quan, Fortune Feimster, Andy Samberg, and more. The movie is set to be released in theaters this Friday.
