The Bad Guys 2 (2025)

The reformed Bad Guys—Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, Mr. Piranha, and Ms. Tarantula—are trying to stay on the straight and narrow. But an all-female crew known as "The Bad Girls"—clever and ruthless—pulls them back into one final global heist.🐾 Story overview The now “reformed” Bad Guys—Mr. Wolf (Sam Rockwell), Mr. Snake (Marc Maron), Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson), Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos), and Ms. Tarantula/Webs (Awkwafina)—face skepticism as they attempt to go straight. They end up coerced into one last big heist by a new all-female criminal trio called The Bad Girls: Kitty Kat (Danielle Brooks), Pigtail (Maria Bakalova), and Doom (Natasha Lyonne). The caper becomes global—setting scenes in Cairo and eventually launching the action into space to recover a substance called “MacGuffinite”.🎬 Release Date & Streaming Theatrical release: August 1, 2025 in the U.S. (with a UK premiere on July 25 and Australia following in September). Streaming window: Exclusive on Peacock for four months, then migrating to Netflix for 10 months, and back to Peacock subsequently.🎥 What We’ve Seen So Far The first trailer, released in November 2024, teases high-stakes heists with stylish, spy-film vibes—set to Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.” It confirms the dynamic between the Bad Guys and the new Bad Girls.🌐 Distribution After its theatrical run, the film will stream first on Peacock, then Netflix, then back to Peacock—under Universal’s streaming deal.🌟 Critics & Highlights Mixed critical response: Praise for stunning visuals, energetic action, and snappy pacing. Some critics faulted the sequel for overwrought action, excessive toilet humor, and a weaker narrative compared to the original. Positive voices highlight its moral dimension and lively ensemble, while noting it may slightly outshine the first film for older viewers or parents. Policy stance: DreamWorks includes a bold anti‑AI training notice in the credits, warning against unauthorized use of the film for AI development.🧠 Expectations Original film box office: ~$250 million on a ~$70 – 80 million budget. Sequel aims: Bigger visual spectacle, globe-trotting adventures, and a fresh smartness—not just for kids but for entire families Potential franchise expansion: A third film is reportedly in development as of June 2025.✅ Should You Watch It? If you enjoyed the clever humor, crisp animation, and charismatic voices of the first film, the sequel promises more—plus a fresh twist by throwing the Bad Guys off-balance with new rivals. With top-tier voice talent and a creatively ambitious direction, this looks like a strong contender for one of the biggest family animation hits of summer 2025.🎥 Box Office Performance As of early August 2025, The Bad Guys 2 has grossed approximately $2.97 million worldwide, all from international markets—no domestic (U.S./Canada) total yet reported. More specifically, Box Office Mojo reports $2,941,000 internationally and $0 domestically (not yet released or reported). Another breakdown indicates a worldwide gross of $2.955 million, with no domestic revenue included at this point.🎯 Conclusion The Bad Guys 2 (2025) looks to be a stylish, high-energy sequel that builds on the charm and success of the first film. With returning fan-favorite characters, a fresh rival crew in The Bad Girls, and a more ambitious global storyline, it’s poised to deliver laughs, thrills, and heart for audiences of all ages.
