THE BAD GUYS 2 is a 2025 animated action adventure comedy film directed by Pierre Perifel and JP Sans, from a screenplay by Yoni Brenner and Etan Cohen. The film is based on the New York Times best-selling book series by Aaron Blabey, which has soared from 8 million to over 30 million copies sold since the first film’s release in 2022
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 cast includes Sam Rockwell as Mr. Wolf, SAG award nominee Marc Maron as safe-cracker Mr. Snake, SAG award nominee Craig Robinson as master-of disguise Mr. Shark, Grammy winner Anthony Ramos as Mr. Piranha, and Emmy winner Awkwafina as hacker Ms. Tarantula, aka “Webs.”
THE BAD GUYS 2 is set to debut in theaters August 1st, courtesy of Universal Pictures. Watch the official trailers below.
