Old Tricks, New Trouble
The trailer opens with a slick, fast-paced montage of the Bad Guys settling into their new “hero consultant” lifestyle. But peace doesn’t last. Explosions, drone chases, high-speed car flips, and a digital virus threatening citywide chaos set the tone for the sequel.
Mr. Wolf (Sam Rockwell) narrates:
“We tried the good life… now it’s time to save it — the bad way.”
New Characters, Higher Stakes
The trailer introduces new characters, including:
-
“The Viper”, a cybercriminal mastermind and former ally of Mr. Snake.
-
Agent Clawson, a no-nonsense feline special agent voiced by Awkwafina.
-
Mayor Foxwell, a tech-savvy, charismatic new mayor who may have her own secrets.
Returning voice cast includes Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Craig Robinson, Anthony Ramos, and Zazie Beetz as Diane Foxington, now head of a new agency that keeps ex-villains in check.
A Sequel with Style
Directed by Pierre Perifel, The Bad Guys 2 brings back the stylish, energetic animation style of the original with an even sharper edge. The trailer teases gadgets, laughs, disguises, dance-offs, and heartfelt moments — all packed into a story about loyalty, redemption, and embracing who you are.
“Sometimes the world needs a little bad… to do a lot of good.”
