Part 5/12:
Sources close to industry insiders reveal that Disney is planning to fast-track not just a sequel but a full trilogy centered on the Zootopia universe.
Early development of Zootopia 3, 4, and 5 is reportedly underway, with intentions to have Zootopia 3 released before 2030.
The company is aiming for sequels every other year, demonstrating a commitment to building a Zootopia empire comparable to the multi-film cycles seen with franchises like Frozen.
This aggressive rollout signals the importance of Zootopia as a "cornerstone IP" for Disney’s long-term strategic re-entry into the Chinese market—an effort that Bob Iger, Disney's CEO, is reportedly prioritizing.
