Taraji P. Henson to Voice a Role in Animated Sequel PAW PATROL: THE MIGHTY MOVIE

Oscar and Emmy-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson (The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Hidden Figures, Empire) has joined the voice cast of the animated sequel Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie. The film series is based on the children’s TV show, “which centers on the young boy Ryder and his crew of search and rescue dogs known as PAW Patrol, watching as they go on missions to protect their community of Adventure Bay and nearby areas.” Last year’s PAW Patrol: The Movie “saw Ryder (Will Brisbin) and the pups be called to Adventure City to stop Mayor Humdinger (Ron Pardo) from turning the bustling metropolis into a state of chaos.”

The first movie was a huge hit. Deadline reports that with the film’s simultaneous day-and-date release in theaters and on Paramount+ in the U.S., the film quickly established itself as the number one most streamed movie on the platform, holding steady today where it is watched an average of 3+ times.

“In PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie, a magical meteor crash lands in Adventure City, giving the PAW Patrol pups superpowers and transforming them into The MIGHTY PUPS! For Skye, the smallest member of the team, her new powers are a dream come true. But things take a turn for the worse when the pups’ archrival Humdinger breaks out of jail and teams up with Victoria Vance, a meteor-obsessed mad scientist, to steal the superpowers and turn themselves into supervillains. With the fate of Adventure City hanging in the balance, the Mighty Pups have to stop the supervillains before it’s too late, and Skye will need to learn that even the smallest pup can make the biggest difference.”

It’s not yet clear who Henson will play, but it sounds like Nickelodeon is striking while the iron is hot on this title. Is someone in your life looking forward to the release of the Paw Patrol sequel?
