Universal Pictures has debuted the trailer for ‘The Bad Guys 2,’ the new chapter from DreamWorks Animation’s 2022 action-comedy hit about a crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws.

The guys struggle to find trust and acceptance in their newly minted lives as Good Guys when they are pulled out of retirement and forced to do “one last job” by an all-female squad of criminals.

Based on the New York Times best-selling book series by Aaron Blabey, The Bad Guys 2 reunites the film’s all-star cast and filmmakers.
