Sony Pictures has released the final trailer for their upcoming live-action comedy sequel Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway, which is scheduled to arrive in theaters on Friday, June 18. The video features some new footage of the mischievous titular bunny as he strays far from home and embarks on a new adventure.
Originally scheduled for a 2020 release, the James Corden-led feature has been pushed back a number of times now due to the ongoing pandemic. Its current June 18 release date puts the long-delayed film on the same week as the theatrical debut of Lionsgate’s star-studded action-comedy sequel Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard.
