The DreamWorks animation production follows the criminal crew of animal outlaws who are trying to find trust and acceptance in their new lives as good guys. However, they are pulled out of retirement to do ‘one last job’ by The Good Girls, an all-female squad of criminals.
In an interview, director Pierre Perifel stated that he and his team began brainstorming for the sequel before audiences saw the first film, which released in 2022.
“We were finishing the first one and thought, ‘Okay, this is good. This is fun. Let’s keep going’,” he said.
The Bad Guys are voiced by Sam Rockwell as Mr Wolf, Marc Maron as crew leader Mr Snake, Awkwafina as the hacker and second-in-command Ms Tarantula, Craig Robinson as the master of disguise Mr Shark and Anthony Ramos as Mr Piranha, who is the group’s muscle.
“There’s a whole book series; these characters are so rich, and you can tell endless stories with them.” Pierre added.
The franchise is loosely based on the namesake graphic novel series written by Australian author Aaron Blabey.
Pierre also noted that he is passionate to keep the franchise going, hinting at a desire to embark on making a third film.
“We’re eager. There’s so much more we want to do, these characters still have a lot of stories to tell,” he added.
