Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is an upcoming 2024 British stop-motion animated film produced by Aardman Animations and directed by Nick Park and Merlin Crossingham, featuring Park's characters Wallace and Gromit. The film will premiere during Christmas 2024 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom and on Netflix internationally.^[1]^[2]

This will be the sixth Wallace and Gromit film, following their first theatrical animated film, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit in 2005, and A Matter of Loaf and Death in 2008. This film marks the return of Feathers McGraw, the villainous penguin from The Wrong Trousers in 1993.

Premise[edit]

Gromit's concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified when Wallace invents a 'smart gnome' that seems to develop an evil mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!
— Netflix^[3]

Cast[edit]

Ben Whitehead as Wallace, an eccentric inventor from Northern England. This marks the first full film performance for Whitehead in the role after Peter Sallis's death in 2017. He had previously been a stand-in for Sallis in A Matter of Loaf and Death for some scenes, as well as voicing the character in video games and commercials since 2008.
- Gromit is Wallace's silent, brave and highly intelligent pet beagle who cares deeply for his master.
Peter Kay as Chief Inspector Albert Mackintosh, reprising his role from Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, having been promoted from police constable since his last appearance.^[4]
