The first trailer forZootopia 2, the sequel to the hit 2016Disney filmZootopia, was released on May 20. In the teaser, Officer Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) return to get to the bottom of a new mysterious figure who shows up in an ominous black cape. The former enemies-turned-friends are joined by Gary De'Snake (Ke Huy Quan), who "arrives in Zootopia and turns the animal metropolis upside down," according to the movie's synopsis. "We are beyond excited to welcome everyone back to the outrageous, expansive animal metropolis of Zootopia, and take audiences on a hilarious, wild ride into parts of the city we've never visited before," co-director Jared Bush, who also wrote the script, said in a statement. In addition to the recurring characters, the second film will also introduce a few new faces and actors — includingFortune FeimsterandQuinta Brunson. Here's everything to know aboutZootopia 2, including the release date, cast, plot and trailer. Walt Disney Pictures/Entertainment Pictures/Alamy In the firstZootopiafilm, Officer Judy and conman Nick started out as enemies. However, after they realize that dozens of predators are disappearing, they must team up to get to the bottom of the mystery. As Judy and Nick start to investigate the disappearances, they learn that there is an undercover conspiracy in which someone is poisoning flowers to turn predators "savage." Their investigation later reveals that Assistant Mayor Dawn Bellwether (Jenny Slate) was the mastermind behind the flower poisoning and wanted to incite fear among the town's citizens and exploit her power. Luckily for the world of Zootopia, Judy and Nick were one step ahead of Bellwether, and they outsmarted her by replacing the darts in her gun before she tried to shoot them and poison them. The two record her full confession, and Bellwether and her co-conspirators are arrested. The film ends with the predators returning to their natural states. Meanwhile, Nick also turns around his conman ways and joins the Zootopia Police Department alongside Judy. He becomes her partner and the first fox police officer. Walt Disney Animation Studios/YouTube Now that Judy and Nick are friends and partners, they must work together to learn more about the "trail of a great mystery" surrounding the new character, Gary. "To crack the case, they must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before," the synopsis reads. Co-director Bush teased that the sequel will show viewers "parts of the city we've never visited before." "Whether it's the marshes of semi-aquatic mammals, the vast desert dunes or even greater mysteries beyond, our heroes Judy and Nick will meet a lot of new friends, and discover even more about the world, themselves and a brand-new snake in town," he said in a statement. Walt Disney Animation Studios/YouTube The first trailer forZootopia 2was released by Walt Disney Animations Studio on May 20. The teaser didn't include any of the characters speaking but instead showed Judy, Nick and Gary silently wandering through different parts of Zootopia. Co-director Byron Howard explained that they highlighted one of the film's original songs in the trailer instead of having the stars speak. "The trailer features the original song 'ZUTU' by Zootopia's finest lemming techno group, LEMEEENS. Fresh from touring with superstar Gazelle as her opening act, members Hans-Peter, Gūnther, Spielt and their DJ Spaß created the song to mark the occasion and welcome the world back to the City of Zootopia!" he said in a statement. Walt Disney Animation Studios/YouTube Both Goodwin and Bateman are confirmed to reprise their roles as Officers Judy and Nick, respectively. Prior to the trailer dropping,Shakiraalso revealed that she'd be returning as Gazelle.

UK court orders singer Chris Brown freed on $6.7 million bail in assault caseNew Foto - UK court orders singer Chris Brown freed on $6.7 million bail in assault case

LONDON (AP) — A British judge orderedGrammy-winning singer Chris Brownreleased on 5 million-pound ($6.7 million) bail on Wednesday while facingallegations he beat and seriously injureda music producer with a bottle in a London nightclub in 2023. The decision by a judge in Southwark Crown Court revives Brown's world tour that was cast in doubt when another judge ordered him held in custody after he was charged last week with causing grievous bodily harm with intent. Judge Tony Baumgartner said that Brown could continue with this tour, including several stops in the U.K., but would have to pay the bail to guarantee his appearance in court. Brown was initially scheduled to appear in court again on June 13. If he had been held until then, Brown would have missed at least two dates on his upcoming tour, which starts next month in Europe. Brown, 36, is accused of launching an unprovoked attack on producer Abe Diaw at the Tape nightclub in the swanky Mayfair neighborhood in February 2023 while he was on last tour. Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls said last week in Manchester Magistrates' Court that Brown struck Diaw several times with a bottle and then punched and kicked him in an attack caught on surveillance camera in front of a club full of people. American musician Omololu Akinlolu, 38, who performs under the name "Hoody Baby" and is a friend of Brown, was also charged in the attack. Neither Brown nor Akinlolu have entered a plea yet. Both men were ordered to appear in court again on June 20. Brown, who burst onto the music scene as a teen in 2005, won his first Grammy for best R&B album in 2011 for "F.A.M.E." and then earned his second in the same category for "11:11 (Deluxe)" earlier this year. His hits include songs such as "Run It," "Kiss Kiss" and "Without You." His tour is due to kick off June 8 in Amsterdam before starting North America shows in July.

Spike Lee thinks "Highest 2 Lowest" may be his final Denzel Washington collab due to the actor's impending retirement

SAMEER AL-DOUMY/AFP via Getty Spike Leebelieves he's reached the end of the road with longtime collaboratorDenzel Washington. TheDo the Right Thingfilmmakertold journalists at the Cannes Film Festivalthat after making five films with the legendaryEqualizerstar, the duo probably won't work together again after their newest movie hits theaters. "It's been a blessing to just have this body of work of us doing films that people love," Lee said at a Cannes press conference promoting his latest film with Washington,Highest 2 Lowest. "I don't know if we're going to do any [more] — I think this is it: five." Lee and Washington first teamed up for 1990's jazz dramedyMo' Better Blues. They followed that collaboration with 1992's civil rights biopicMalcolm X, for which Washington received an Oscar nomination. In 1998, Lee directed Washington in the basketball dramaHe Got Game, and in 2006, they worked together once more on the heist-hostage thrillerInside Man. Their fifth film,Highest 2 Lowest, is a reinterpretation ofAkira Kurosawa's classic 1963 crime proceduralHigh and Low. TheBlacKkKlansmanfilmmaker said that he expects his creative partnership with Washington to end due to the actor's repeated claims that he's nearing retirement. "He's been talking about retirement — even though he just did another deal," Lee said. "I thought he's going to retire! What's up? But the five films together, you know, they stand up." While promotingGladiator IIlast year, Washingtonsaidthat he plans to retireafter a few upcoming projects. Those future films includea historical drama about Carthaginian general Hannibalthat will reunite him withTraining Daydirector Antoine Fuqua, an unknown collaboration with12 Years a SlavefilmmakerSteve McQueen, a film adaptation of his BroadwayOthelloproduction, aKing Learmovie, andBlack Panther 3. "After that, I'm gonna retire," the actor said on Australia'sTodayshow. Everett Collection Washington later qualified that statement, suggesting that he might not fully retire, but instead substantially decrease his film output and focus exclusively on working with top-tier filmmakers. "I didn't say I was going to go into retirement. I said that it has to be a level of interest for me," Washingtontold BuzzFeed. "I'm notretiring. It's not like on June 5, that's it. But to think I'm going to run as far as [Gladiator IIcostarsPaul Mescaland Fred Hechinger] are, I'd be a fool." Want more movie news?

Washington's involvement in a potential thirdBlack Pantherfilm was unknown until he listed it among his upcoming projects. The actor said thathe contacted the franchise's director,Ryan Coogler, to apologize for letting the cat out of the bag. "I called him. I said, 'I'm sorry, man.' He's like, 'No, man, it's all good,'" he recalled of his interaction with theSinnersfilmmaker in an episode of theVariety Awards Circuitpodcast. "I don't know what he's got cooking for me." Black Panther 3producer Nate Moorediscussed Washington's potential involvement in the filmin an interview withEntertainment Weekly. "When we saw that story, I know Ryan was like, 'Well, what is he saying?'" the producer said of Washington spilling the beans. "We should be so lucky to have Denzel in the MCU. But until we figure out what that movie is, again, nothing is guaranteed. But if you're asking me, would I love to have Denzel inBlack Panther 3? Obviously, that guy, he is a legend."
