Zootopia 2 stars Ke Huy Quan and Ginnifer Goodwin had to conquer their fears of snakes. The actors joined The Mary Sue’s Rachel Leishman to talk about the big sequel. One of the biggest themes in the first movie was that looks can be deceiving. Judging a book by its cover rarely tells you the entire story. Both Quan and Goodwin shared their previous relationship with reptiles to kick off our conversation. It seems like there was an adjustment period.
“I’m still afraid of snakes,” Goodwin joked. For a lot of Zootopia 2 viewers, that could still be the case. After all, popular depictions of these reptiles usually come with Some danger involved. (Viewers of a certain age will remember our friend Samuel L. Jackson’s run-ins with them aboard one fateful flight.) But, for a vast majority of snakes, they are just as afraid of humans as we are of them. Quan’s character in Zootopia 2 is literally a snake in trouble with the law because he’s a reptile. So, perception dictates a lot.
