Jason Bateman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Jason Bateman has been everywhere lately, making waves both on and off the screen. According to IGN and ABC News, he’s back in the spotlight as the voice of Nick Wilde in Zootopia 2, which hits theaters today, November 26, 2025. The film is already being called one of the biggest animated releases of the year, with early box office projections suggesting a massive opening weekend. Bateman shared with ABC News that voicing Nick Wilde remains a creative adventure, especially given the scale of the production—over 700 people worked on the film, and he finds it humbling to be just one small part of such a massive project. He also appeared in a featurette released by IGN, showing him and Ginnifer Goodwin recording their lines, and he’s been talking up the film’s layered storytelling, which appeals to both kids and adults.

Bateman’s family joined him at the premiere of his new Netflix limited series Black Rabbit during the Toronto International Film Festival, according to AOL. The series, which stars Bateman and Jude Law, is a crime thriller set in New York City’s restaurant world, and Bateman also serves as an executive producer. His production company, Aggregate Films, has been behind several successful projects, including Zootopia and The Way Way Back, and he’s involved in various business ventures, including real estate and tech investments, as reported by Ruby Powers Law.

There’s also buzz about Bateman possibly directing the film adaptation of John Grisham’s The Partner, with Tom Holland set to star, according to IMDb. This would mark his third feature film as director, following Juegos de palabras and La familia Fang. Bateman’s career continues to evolve, with his recent work in Black Rabbit and Zootopia 2 showcasing his range as both an actor and a filmmaker.
