Universal Pictures and DreamWorks have unveiled the first trailer for The Bad Guys 2, the sequel to their surprise 2022 animated hit.
Following $250 million at the global box-office, streaming service spin-offs, and a rise in sales for the Aaron Blabey book-series from 8 million to over 30 million copies sold since the first film’s release, there was little surprise when Universal announced that The Bad Guys would be back.
Next summer will see the return of Academy Award winner Sam Rockwell as Mr. Wolf, SAG award nominee Marc Maron as safe-cracker Mr. Snake, SAG award nominee Craig Robinson as master-of disguise Mr. Shark, Grammy winner Anthony Ramos as Mr. Piranha, and Emmy winner Awkwafina as hacker Ms. Tarantula. They will be joined by Danielle Brooks (The Color Purple) as Bad Girls leader Kitty Kat, a dangerously clever snow leopard; Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Movie Film) as Pigtail, a brilliant Bulgarian wild boar engineer; and Natasha Lyonne (Russian Doll) as Doom, a wry raven with a knack for deception. Check out the poster and trailer below…
“Everyone’s favorite felons are back, and this time, they’ve got company. In the new action-packed chapter from DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed comedy smash about a crackerjack crew of animal outlaws, our now-reformed Bad Guys are trying (very, very hard) to be good, but instead find themselves hijacked into a high-stakes, globe-trotting heist, masterminded by a new team of criminals they never saw coming: The Bad Girls.”
The Bad Guys 2 is in cinemas Summer 2025.
