In an interview with WhatsPlaying, Elijah Wood has revealed a small detail from the as yet unknown story of Happy Feet 2.

Wood’s character Mumble the tapdancing penguin is to be a father this time around. Mumble’s son, though not entirely a secret considering the first film’s ending shot of a small dancing baby penguin, implied to be the child of Mumble and Gloria.

It is assumed that he mated with Gloria, who was voiced by Brittany Murphy in the original film. This may possibly change, due to Murphy’s untimely death. According to a previous report by moviehole, Murphy was signed to reprise her role as Gloria in the sequel, but had not participated in any recording sessions before her passing. So it is unclear if director George Miller has recast the part, or has written the character out of the film. It is most likely that Miller has recast the part due to the time and money constraints a rewriting of the script could take.
