DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures have officially debuted a brand-new trailer for their anticipated animated sequel, «The Bad Guys 2». The preview was released on YouTube, offering viewers a look at the upcoming film, which is currently scheduled to hit theaters on August 1, 2025.
«The Bad Guys» is a family-friendly animated adventure centered on a gang of professional anthropomorphic animal criminals. The core idea is that these characters aren`t inherently malicious but are naturally feared and perceived as villains. The first film followed the group`s leader, Mr. Wolf, who experiences a change of heart after unexpectedly performing a good deed, inspiring him to try and become a good person. The sequel promises to see the now-reformed ensemble pulled back into the dangerous world of crime.
The original «The Bad Guys» movie premiered in 2022. It was met with positive reactions, earning a solid 6.8 out of 10 from users on IMDb and a 7.3 out of 10 from visitors of the Russian site Kinopoisk. Furthermore, the film was a commercial success globally, accumulating over $250 million at the box office.
