Oscar-nominated composer Daniel Pemberton returns to create the score, infusing the film with energy and emotional depth.
“The Bad Guys 2” promises another entertaining adventure filled with action, wit, and a touch of heartwarming charm. Mark your calendars for August 2025 to witness the return of this charismatic band of (somewhat) reformed criminals as they grapple with temptation and the complexities of their newfound good guy status.
