The Bad Guys 2

The Bad Guys 2 follows the reformed crew as they try to leave their criminal past behind and live up to their new reputations. Just when things seem to be settling down, an unexpected rival group draws them into a globe-spanning caper that tests how far they will go to protect one another. The plot keeps things fast and funny, moving from high-octane heists to quieter moments that test loyalty and identity, while avoiding big reveals about the ending or major betrayals.

Released in 2025, Pierre Perifel returned to direct this animated sequel, with the story shaped by creators Katherine de Vries, Yoni Brenner, and Etan Cohen. The voice cast again features Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, Craig Robinson, and Anthony Ramos.

Detailed box office totals weren't widely reported at the time of writing, though the film opened in many markets in 2025 and aimed to build on the commercial footprint of its predecessor.

As a continuation of a popular animated property, the movie has encouraged fan art and discussion about its gender-flipped antagonists, dubbed the Bad Girls. Its stylish animation and snappy character designs have kept the franchise visible in social feeds and family entertainment circles, and its characters are already appearing in promotional tie-ins and costuming trends at family events.

Audience ratings sit around 7.7 out of 10 from community votes, reflecting generally favorable reactions. Reviewers and viewers have highlighted the film's humor, brisk pacing, and warm moments, while noting that themes of redemption, leadership, and trust are woven through the heist action. The sequel leans into teamwork and identity, keeping a light tone while letting characters show growth without losing the franchise's comic energy.
