The Bad Guys 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 creative team reunites to bring this worldwide caper to life with director Pierre Perifel (Kung Fu Panda films), co-director JP Sans (Trolls World Tour) and producer Damon Ross (The Croods). The film’s charming characters are brought to life by a sleek animation style and star-studded voice cast featuring Academy Award® winner Sam Rockwell (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri) as Mr. Wolf, Marc Maron (“GLOW”) as Mr. Snake, Craig Robinson (Hot Tub Time Machine franchise, “The Office”) as Mr. Shark, Emmy® nominee Anthony Ramos (In The Heights, Hamilton) as Mr. Piranha, and Awkwafina (Crazy Rich Asians) as Ms. Tarantula comprising the Bad Guys, alongside co-stars Zazie Beetz (Joker), Lily Singh (Bad Moms), Emmy® winner Alex Borstein (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), and Richard Ayoade (Paddington 2). THE BAD GUYS 2 welcomes fresh powerhouse voice actors to represent the Bad Girls, including Danielle Brooks (A Minecraft Movie) as Kitty Kat, Natasha Lyonne (“Poker Face”) as Doom/aka, Susan, and Maria Bakalova (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm) as Pigtail Petrova.
