'Wreck-It Ralph 2' News: 'Devious Maids' Star Ana Ortiz Joins Disney Sequel

When Disney announced that "Wreck-It Ralph 2" was happening, many fans eagerly awaited news of the computer-animated comedy film. Not much has been revealed about the plot, but the names of the cast have been teased slowly. Just recently, "Devious Maids" actress Ana Ortiz has been cast to lend her voice to an unspecified character.

After taking on the role of the character Rafa in Disney's "Elena of Avalor", Ana Ortiz will next voice a character in the anticipated "Wreck-It Ralph 2." Tracking Board released the announcement just recently, although her role has not been revealed yet. The only hint given is that will be a minor one. Ortiz is the first new actor to be cast in the sequel.

The 46-year-old actress has already worked with Disney Channel for the series "Elena of Avalor" and the TV film "Elena and the Secret of Avalor". Before that, Ortiz was known to fans from her roles in TV shows like "Kristin" and "Marry Me". However, she is mostly known in "Ugly Betty" and "Devious Maids". Her biggest cinematic movie will be the upcoming "Wreck-It Ralph 2."

Another Disney actress who will be part of the sequel is veteran Jodi Benson, who lent her voice as Ariel in the animated film "The Little Mermaid" and Barbie in "Toy Story". Another one is James Corden, who has done a Disney film himself, like "Into the Woods". Their roles in "Wreck-It Ralph 2" have not been announced either.

What's for sure is that John C. Reilly will return to voice the titular character in the sequel, but he's not the only one. Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch and Jack McBrayer will also return to reprise their roles in "Wreck-It Ralph 2" as Vanellope, Calhou, and Felix. According to Den of Geek, Reilly will voice more than one person.

The "Wreck-It Ralph 2" poster reveals that Ralph and Vanellope will be thundering through Google and Amazon (Gügle and Amazing in the movie). This could hint at a larger computer game world, which many game fans will probably love. The movie will be directed by Rich Moore and Phil Johnston, who also penned the script with Pamela Ribon, who worked in "Moana".
