DreamWorks Animation has released a second trailer for animated comedy heist movie The Bad Guys 2, which finds the crew from the first movie struggling to find trust and acceptance in their newly minted lives as Good Guys.
It’s at this point in their journey where they are forced to do one last job, with a female crew of criminals, known as The Bad Girls.
The synopsis reads: “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 brings back the great original cast of Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, and Awkwafina. Newcomers include Danielle Brooks as The Bad Girls leader Kitty Kat, a clever snow leopard; Maria Bakalova as Pigtail, a brilliant Bulgarian wild boar engineer; Natasha Lyonne as Doom, a wry raven with a knack for deception.
This actually looks like it’ll be a fun follow-up to the first movie. The Bad Guys 2 is once again directed by Pierre Perifel, making his second feature after the first film and lots of work as an animator at DreamWorks previously. it was co-directed by JP Sans, who was head of character animation on the first film.
The film is adapted from the Scholastic book series by Aaron Blabey, and it will be released in theaters starting August 1st, 2025.
