Paramount has released a new poster for PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie. A sequel to 2021's hit PAW Patrol: The Movie, the film is based on the massively successful animated series at Nickelodeon.
The movie, coming to theaters and Paramount+ this fall, will see the PAW Patrol get super powers after coming in contact with a magical meteor.
While the first teaser poster featured a shadowy look at the pups in their hero forms, the new one features each of their faces around a stylized meteor logo, with their Mighty Pups vehicles featured below, and gives us a first look at the film's antagonist. You can see it here.

While the movie will introduce a new villain named Victoria Vance, the synopsis also promises that "Humdinger breaks out of jail," suggesting that in the world of the movie, the series' main antagonist has been in custody following his first shenanigans in Adventure City in PAW Patrol: The Movie.
Here's the film's official synopsis:
"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.
