With growing concerns over the coronavirus, Sony Pictures have announced that the upcoming release of Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, the follow-up to 2018’s hugely successful live-action/CGI hybrid Peter Rabbit, has been delayed to August.
The Peter Rabbit sequel was originally scheduled to arrive in theatres in the UK and other European territories on 27th March, followed by a release in North America on 3rd April. However, after the delay, the film will now be releasing on 7th August 2020 in Europe with the rest of the world to follow, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway is now the second major studio film release to be impacted by the current epidemic after Daniel Craig’s final outing as James Bond in No Time to Die – which was moved from its initial release of 3rd April 2020 to 12th November 2020.
The live-action/CG-hybrid family adventure sequel directed by Will Gluck sees the return of stars Domhnall Gleeson and Rose Byrne, and voice cast members James Cordon, Daisy Ridley, Elizabeth Debicki, and Margot Robbie.
In PETER RABBIT™ 2, the lovable rogue is back. Bea, Thomas, and the rabbits have created a makeshift family, but despite his best efforts, Peter can’t seem to shake his mischievous reputation. Adventuring out of the garden, Peter finds himself in a world where his mischief is appreciated, but when his family risks everything to come looking for him, Peter must figure out what kind of bunny he wants to be.
