Summary
- Ke Huy Quan's voice from a TV interview inspired Zootopia 2's snake character.
- The character, Gary De'Snake, is a misunderstood venomous pit viper with a kind heart.
- Zootopia 2 explores why reptiles haven't visited Zootopia in a century.
Ke Huy Quan's distinctive voice, first heard on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, secured him the role of Gary De'Snake in the upcoming Zootopia 2. An animator was so impressed with Quan's vocal performance that audio from the interview was used as a test track for the character, leading to Quan's casting.
The film's plot thickens as Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde, partners on the Zootopia police force, must investigate a century-old mystery surrounding the absence of reptiles in the city. Their investigation is complicated by the arrival of Gary, a venomous pit viper whose intimidating appearance masks a friendly and optimistic personality.
Quan relates to Gary's journey, seeing parallels in his own career resurgence and his excitement for life. He expressed deep gratitude for being part of a Disney animated film, cherishing the recording process and eagerly anticipating the audience's reaction to the movie's themes of friendship and overcoming differences.
