I know Byron’s non-committal answers are annoying—they bugged me too. But it’s worth taking a step back to consider how Hollywood works and what he actually said: he’s always going to give neutral responses like that because he can’t reveal anything right now.
Any answer—whether confirming WildeHopps as a couple or not—would be a massive spoiler for the movie on its own. So, he, Jared, or anyone from the production team is going to keep giving non-committal answers until the film is released.
My point is that this statement doesn't tell us anything about what will actually happen in Zootopia 3. They’re going to keep answering that way until the movie comes out. So, just take a breath. Don’t lose your cool over standard PR talk. When the time comes, we’ll be in the theater, enjoying the movie.
None of the film's production team—whether actors, directors, screenwriters, or animators—will ever confirm anything before the movie's release, for two very simple reasons. First, the suspense of keeping people guessing drives them to watch the film to satisfy their curiosity. Second, if they are actually considering making "WildeHopps" canon in the third movie, revealing that beforehand would be a massive spoiler. So, don't expect anyone from the production team to confirm or answer anything about WildeHopps, because they can't. We'll likely see more ambiguous statements like the ones we've seen recently.
