As seen in the trailer for ‘Peter Rabbit 2,’ the film finds our titular hero with his feelings hurt after a particularly bad situation that makes him question his relationship with Thomas and Bea. So, what is a talking rabbit in a jacket to do? Well, you obviously hit the road and try to find where you fit in with the rest of the world. And that’s what Peter does, as he finds himself on an adventure, meeting other talking animals and discovering himself along the way.
The film stars Rose Byrne and Domhnall Gleeson alongside the vocal talents of David Oyelowo, Elizabeth Debicki, Margot Robbie, and James Corden as Peter Rabbit. Once again, as was the case with the original “Peter Rabbit,” Will Gluck returns to direct and co-write the feature.
“Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway” opens in theaters on April 3.
