Although unconfirmed, Paramount+ may premiere PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie during Thanksgiving or the Holidays as a tentpole movie.
During Spin Master's Q2 2023 Earnings Call, Ronnen Harary, Chair and Co-Founder of Spin Master, said:
"I think that the second film is, the quality of the film, the production, I think that it's better than the first film. And it's just such a different type of narrative to see the pups as superheroes come to the big screen. And I'm just so proud of our team for being able to produce this film. And just to remind everybody that we produce the films in-house, We obviously finance the films partially ourselves, but the production is done in-house with Spin Master with their own people. We don't outsource us. And the ability to do that, is an incredible asset for the company and an incredible asset for us going forward."I'm really excited about the fact that we have this 45-day window. We're in more theaters. it's going to go on to Paramount Plus afterwards. And so the greatest thing about these films is that they have long lives, and the kids just watch them over and over and over and over again. and just reinforce and expand the whole PAW universe. So overall, I'm really excited."And then in terms of films, I think that we've seen, and I would actually say going back, but just basically in the last year, we've seen a lot of examples between Sonic and Mario and Barbie, just the strength of toy IP or kids based IP being turned into films, and people wanting to see those IPs brought to life and those characters on the big screen."And so we're very excited about this movie, and we're excited about, turning Bakugan into film and looking into our treasure chest and taking things like Tech Deck and potentially turning that into film and things like Unicorn Academy. We're already working on scripts to turn that into a live action film. So lots of stuff to come, from Spin Master in terms of the film area."
Based on Nickelodeon's beloved CG-animated preschool series and a sequel to 2021's hit PAW Patrol: The Movie, the film will see the PAW Patrol get super powers after coming in contact with a magical meteor.
When a magical meteor crash lands in Adventure City, it gives the PAW Patrol pups superpowers, 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.
Mckenna Grace takes on the role of Skye, the 7-year-old cockapoo with the power of flight and strength in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie. She replaces Lilly Bartlam from the series and first film. Grace is most known for her roles in films like Ghostbusters: Afterlife, I, Tonya, and Captain Marvel, and the sitcom Young Sheldon, and will soon be seen in Ghostbusters: Firehouse.
Taraji P. Henson takes on the role of Victoria Vance, a meteor expert and the female villain who teams up with Mayor Humdinger. Henson is set to feature in the much-anticipated coming-of-age tale The Color Purple. On the heroic side, Marsai Martin, who is most known for her role on black-ish, returns as Liberty, the lively long-haired dachshund who was part of the PAW Patrol in Adventure City and leads the Junior Patrollers with her incredible Mighty Pup power of elasticity. Martin previously portrayed Liberty in the first film.
Christian Convery, best known for Sweet Tooth, takes the lead as Chase, the brave and independent 7-year-old German shepherd with the Mighty Pup power of super speed, replacing Luke Dietz from the series and Iain Armitage from the first film. Adding to the fun, Chris Rock joins the adventure as a unique version of Rubble, now a member of the Kitten Catastrophe Crew, who gains the ability to speak after getting his paws on a meteor fragment.
While the upcoming sequel features other big names, such as Kristen Bell, James Marsden, and even Serena Williams, the Kardashians are making a full sweep in PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie. In addition to Kim Kardashian, who will be returning as the sassy poodle Delores, Kim’s two children are set to make an appearance. North West stars as Mini, a Pomeranian who is one of the Junior Patrollers, and Saint West in an undisclosed role.
The upcoming film will see the return of animation director Cal Brunker, who has previously directed PAW Patrol: The Movie and Nut Job 2: Nutty By Nature. The movie's screenplay was written by Cal Brunker and Bob Barlen, both of whom also wrote the first one. Both Brunker and Barlen also worked on the story for the new film, alongside Shane Morris. Leading the production team are Jennifer Dodge, President of Spin Master Entertainment, along with Laura Clunie, Senior Vice President of Development and Feature Film at Spin Master, and Toni Stevens, Senior Vice President of Entertainment Production & Operations at Spin Master, who will serve as producers for the film. Taking on the executive producer roles are Ronnen Harary, Co-Founder of Spin Master, Adam Beder, Executive Vice President at Spin Master, and Peter Schlessel.
