The Bad Guys 2 (2025) — DreamWorks’ Most Mischievous Crew Returns
Introduction
DreamWorks Animation has officially announced the highly anticipated sequel The Bad Guys 2 (2025), bringing back the stylish crew of animal outlaws who stole the spotlight in the first film. Following the critical and commercial success of The Bad Guys (2022), the sequel promises even bigger heists, wilder comedy, and fresh twists for Mr. Wolf and his gang.
Background
The Bad Guys introduced audiences to a team of animal criminals — Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Ms. Tarantula — who, after years of legendary heists, decided to go “good” to avoid prison. With its witty humor, slick animation, and playful tone inspired by heist films, the movie became a global hit.
The sequel, set for release in 2025, picks up after the gang’s attempt at redemption, raising the question: can “bad guys” ever truly change their stripes?
