DreamWorks Gives Animated Sequel THE BAD GUYS 2 a Late Summer 2025 Release Date
DreamWorks animation studio has revealed that we will see the animated sequel The Bad Guys 2 in late summer of next year. The second film, which is currently in the works, follows the crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws who are struggling to find trust and acceptance in their newly minted lives as Good Guys. However, they’re pulled out of retirement and forced to do “one last job” by an all-female squad of criminals.
The movie is based on Aaron Blabey’s New York Times best-selling book series. Part two will reteam the first pic’s filmmakers and cast, including Oscar winner Sam Rockwell is back as dashing reformed pickpocket Mr. Wolf; Marc Maron plays safe-cracker Mr. Snake; Craig Robinson is master-of-disguise Mr. Shark; Grammy winner Anthony Ramos portrays short-fused Mr. Piranha; and Golden Globe winner Awkwafina will reprise her expert hacker Ms. Tarantula, aka “Webs.”
Also returning are Zazie Beetz as Diana Foxington; BAFTA winner Richard Ayoade as Professor Marmalade; Emmy winner Alex Borstein as police chief Misty Luggins; and Lilly Singh as Tiffany Fluffit.
Pierre Perifel is co-directing with Damon Ross producing. The co-director is JP Sans, who served as head of character animation on The Bad Guys, and the music is by Oscar-nominated returning composer Daniel Pemberton.
The Bad Guys 2 is set to hit theatres on August 1, 2025.
