WWE icons trade the ring for the big screen in the animated sequel set to release this November
Summary
– Roman Reigns and CM Punk will voice zebra police officers in Disney’s Zootopia 2
– The film hits theaters on November 26, marking another Hollywood milestone for both stars
– Their rumored on-screen team-up mirrors reports of a WWE alliance at Survivor Series: WarGames
Roman Reigns and CM Punk are taking their rivalry and charisma to the animated jungle. Disney has confirmed both WWE superstars will voice zebra cops in Zootopia 2, the long-awaited sequel to the 2016 hit film. The movie is set for release on November 26.
The news was announced by Paradigm agent Nick LoPiccolo, who represents both men. The casting adds another layer to the growing entertainment profiles of Reigns and Punk, who have successfully balanced wrestling fame with expanding Hollywood ventures.
Roman Reigns, who’s been off WWE television since his loss to Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel, continues to strengthen his Hollywood credentials. The “Tribal Chief” previously lent his voice to animated projects like Rumble and The Jetsons & WWE: Robo-WrestleMania! and will also appear in the upcoming live-action Street Fighter adaptation.
CM Punk, the current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, is no stranger to the big screen either. His acting résumé includes roles in Girl on the Third Floor, Rabid, and the Starz wrestling drama Heels. Now, he joins Disney’s animated lineup alongside Reigns, making their partnership one of the film’s most unexpected casting twists.
Adding to the intrigue, both men are rumored to be on the same team at WWE Survivor Series: WarGames later this month at Petco Park in San Diego. Whether by coincidence or clever timing, fans are already buzzing over the idea of Reigns and Punk teaming up both in the ring and on the big screen.
