Dealing with the pressures of newfound celebrity and a new stepdad are tough for anyone — even a bunny — as Peter Rabbit discovers in the first trailer for “Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway,” which was released on Thursday morning.
Voiced by James Corden, Peter can’t seem to shake off his naughty reputation especially when farmer Thomas McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) weds Bea (Rose Byrne) and becomes the man of the rabbit-filled house.
Instead of trying to mend his mischievous ways, Peter heads to town on an adventure but realizes he might not be quite ready for the big smoke and the dark characters that come with it.
Our hero walks with a heavy heart — and heavy paws — after stepping into wet concrete as he hits the cobbled streets of rural England, bumping into a real tough rabbit stealing apples from a fruit cart along the way.
“I’m no goody, goody … I’m a baddy, baddy,” Peter boasts, before getting buried in an avalanche of apples.
When his human and animal family venture out of the garden to rescue him, Peter must finally decide exactly what kind of rabbit he wants to be.
Based on the classic “Tales of Peter Rabbit” series created by Beatrix Potter and the sequel to 2018’s “Peter Rabbit,” the live-action/computer-animated comedy is directed by Will Gluck and written by Patrick Burleigh and Gluck.
David Oyelowo, Elizabeth Debicki and Margot Robbie also lend their voices to the cotton-tailed cast.
The Sony Pictures production hops into theaters on April 3, 2020.
Watch the first trailer above.
10 Scene-Stealing Cats in Movies, From 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' to 'Captain Marvel' (Photos)
Cat, "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (1961)
Let's make this clear: Holly Golightly does not own this cat. He belongs to nobody and nobody belongs to him. But that doesn't stop him from playing a pivotal role in the movie, including the tear-jerking final scene.
Paramount Pictures
Tonto, "Harry and Tonto" (1974)
Art Carney's portrayal of a feisty retiree on a cross-country road trip won him an Academy Award, while his feline costar didn't even get a nomination. What gives?
Twentieth Century Fox
Jonesy, "Alien" (1979)
This orange tabby was the unofficial mascot of the USCSS Nostromo and one of the few crew members to survive a Xenomorph attack. He also remains the only character to successfully steal a scene from Sigourney Weaver.
Twentieth Century Fox
Church, "Pet Sematary" (1989, 2019)
Ellie Creed's playful kitty Winston Churchill was run over by a truck and came back from the dead as Church to terrorize his former owners. That's something to consider before burying your cat in a cursed cemetery.
Paramount Pictures
Binx, "Hocus Pocus" (1993)
Thackery Binx was just a normal teenage boy in 1693 before he was cursed to live forever in the body of a black cat. But hey, everyone goes through weird phases in their teens.
Buena Vista Pictures
Mr. Bigglesworth, "Austin Powers" series (1997-2002)
When Dr. Evil's cat, Mr. Bigglesworth, gets upset, people die. Honestly, Dr. Evil doesn't sound too different from the average cat owner.
New Line Cinema
Mr. Jinx, "Meet the Parents" (2000)
This movie should actually be called "Meet the Parents' Cat," because Mr. Jinx is the real star. The perpetually-frowning Himalayan cat is Jack Byrnes' pride and joy, and knows how to come when called, wave and even use the toilet. That's called a 'triple threat' in showbiz.
Universal Pictures
Fat Louie, "The Princess Diaries" series (2001-04)
Behind every great princess of Genovia is an equally great black-and-white kitty.
Buena Vista Pictures
Ulysses, "Inside Llewyn Davis" (2013)
This honey-colored tabby joined Oscar Isaac's grumpy folk musician as he wandered around New York City and Chicago in the Coen brothers' film. Though he takes up more screen time than many of the human actors, the feline actor isn't named in the credits -- perhaps because the character was played by three separate (but equally adorable) animal performers.
CBS Films
Goose, "Captain Marvel" (2019)
Okay, Goose is technically not a cat. Carol Danvers' orange sidekick is actually a Flerken (an alien with massive tentacles hidden inside her mouth), but Goose's fluffy coat and knack for getting into trouble puts her firmly in the cat category.
