Catch up with Bad Guys – and meet the Bad Girls – in DreamWorks Animation’s The Bad Guys 2 trailer. The trailer confirms the Bad Guys are trying to be good, but that won’t be easy when they’re introduced to a trio of female villains: Kitty Kat, Pigtail, and Doom.
In an interview with The Wrap, director Pierre Perifel hinted at what’s happening with Wolf and the gang. “They’re struggling a little bit, going from job interviews to try and pay bills that they can’t afford, until they get captured by this trio of super villains and forced to do one last job,” said Perifel. “The movie is about testing Wolf’s determination to be a good guy. Did he make the right choice? That really is the big philosophical argument for him.”
The original film’s voice cast returns, with Oscar winner Sam Rockwell back as Mr. Wolf, SAG award nominee Marc Maron as safecracker Mr. Snake, SAG award nominee Craig Robinson as Mr. Shark, Grammy winner Anthony Ramos as Mr. Piranha, and Emmy winner Awkwafina as Ms. Tarantula. Emmy nominee Zazie Beetz voices Governor Diane Foxington, BAFTA winner Richard Ayoade is Professor Marmalade, Emmy winner Alex Borstein is Police Chief (now Commissioner) Misty Luggins, and Lilly Singh is sensationalist reporter Tiffany Fluffit.
Newbies to the animated sequel include Oscar nominee Danielle Brooks as Kitty Kat, Oscar nominee Maria Bakalova as Pigtail, and Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne as Doom.
“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,” reads Universal Pictures’ synopsis.
Based on Aaron Blabey’s bestselling book series, The Bad Guys 2 is co-directed by JP Sans and produced by Damon Ross. The Bad Guys opened in theaters on April 22, 2022. The sequel will debut on August 1, 2025.
