The sequel to the successful animated film The Bad Guys, produced by DreamWorks Animation, is generating high expectations as its release this summer approaches. The Bad Guys 2 will continue the story of a group of reformed villains who, trying to leave behind their illegal ways, will face new challenges following the emergence of a female squad called “The Bad Girls”. The blend of humor, action, and appealing visual design has proven to be a magnet for both child and adult audiences.
A sequel to a blockbuster movie
The first installment, released in the post-pandemic era, grossed over 250 million dollars worldwide, making it one of the most successful animated films of its time. Specialized critics praised its clever plot, charismatic characters, and humor that does not underestimate its young audience. Media outlets like El Periódico highlighted the combination of a good heist plot and a narrative that moves away from traditional moralism, which made it stand out in a genre often criticized for being predictable.
In terms of dubbing, the film will feature the original voices of actors such as Sam Rockwell and Awkwafina. In the Spanish version, actors Santi Millán and Joaquín Reyes will reprise their roles, ensuring that the experience is just as entertaining for the Spanish-speaking audience. Director Pierre Perifel returns to lead this sequel, promising to maintain a strong continuity of the visual and narrative style that characterized the first film.
With its premiere scheduled for August 1, Bad Guys 2 has the potential to become the new obsession for children and parents, marking another victory for DreamWorks animation in a summer where entertainment options are crucial.
