Taraji P. Henson has joined 'PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie' in a mysterious role.
Last year saw the box office success of PAW Patrol: The Movie, a theatrical film based on the hit animated show, so it was really no surprise when a sequel got announced last November. PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie is set to be released in October 2023, and recently it was announced that Academy Award-nominated actress Taraji P. Henson will be joining the voice cast.

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.
