Key Hoy Kwan said in a video press conference for the movie `Zootopia 2' on the 18th that `When I was first offered to play Gary, I thought you contacted me wrong.'
Released on the 26th, 'Zootopia 2' is a thrilling tracking adventure in which Zootopia's best duo Judy and Nick chase Gary, the unidentified snake that shook the city, and dive into a new world to investigate a dangerous case. Following the previous film, director Byron Howard directed once again, and director Jared Bush, who participated in the screenplay for "Encanto: The Magic World" and "Zootopia" and "Moana" helped. The production was accompanied by producer Yvette Merino of 'Encanto'.
Key Hoy Kwan, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for "Everything Everywhere All at Once", plays Gary the new face and brings freshness to the play. Key Hoy Kwan is such a big fan that he has watched the first movie in the theater many times. When I was offered the role of Gary for the first time, 'Salmosa with poison? I wondered if you contacted me properly. When I felt it for myself, my voice was not scary at all."Later, when I heard that (Gary) was the first reptile to step on 'Zootopia for over 100 years, I wanted to act quickly" he said.
In the meantime, "It was very important to capture warm sensibilities in the movie. I want the audience to feel all the emotions Gary feels. Beyond the prejudice of 'threatening murder with poison', I wish it wasn't a scary snake character. I hope you'll see me as a playful and warm character," he said of the wind.
