DreamWorks Unveils First Trailer For Heist Comedy The Bad Guys

DreamWorks Animation is getting ready to make bad look good, with a new trailer for The Bad Guys debuting with a distinct style worth a second look. Based on Australian author Aaron Blabey’s children book, the movie will bring the talents of Sam Rockwell, Awkwafina, Anthony Ramos, Craig Robinson and Marc Maron as villains looking to turn over a new leaf. Well, sort of.

Having spent the majority of the past years pulling off successful heists and other assorted crime, the police are hot on the crew’s tails. As a master plan to save them from getting thrown in jail, Mr Wolf (Sam Rockwell) concocts the perfect plan of changing them into the good guys instead.

The Bad Guys also features a unique animation style, with 3D characters displaying 2D characteristics, which allows the action on-screen to unfold in a more eye-catching way, similar to how Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse managed to do when it was released.

The Bad Guys is scheduled to be released in theaters on April 22, 2022. Check out the trailer below:

The official synopsis reads:

Nobody has ever failed so hard at trying to be good as The Bad Guys.

In the new action comedy from DreamWorks Animation, based on the New York Times best-selling book series, a crackerjack criminal crew of animal outlaws are about to attempt their most challenging con yet—becoming model citizens.

Never have there been five friends as infamous as The Bad Guys—dashing pickpocket Mr. Wolf (Academy Award® winner Sam Rockwell, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri), seen-it-all safecracker Mr. Snake (Marc Maron, GLOW), chill master-of-disguise Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson, Hot Tub Time Machine franchise), short-fused “muscle” Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos, In the Heights) and sharp-tongued expert hacker Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina, Crazy Rich Asians), aka “Webs.”

But when, after years of countless heists and being the world’s most-wanted villains, the gang is finally caught, Mr. Wolf brokers a deal (that he has no intention of keeping) to save them all from prison: The Bad Guys will go good.

Under the tutelage of their mentor Professor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade, Paddington 2), an arrogant (but adorable!) guinea pig, The Bad Guys set out to fool the world that they’ve been transformed. Along the way, though, Mr. Wolf begins to suspect that doing good for real may give him what he’s always secretly longed for: acceptance. So when a new villain threatens the city, can Mr. Wolf persuade the rest of the gang to become … The Good Guys?

The film co-stars Zazie Beetz (Joker), Lilly Singh (Bad Moms) and Emmy winner Alex Borstein (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel).

Based on the blockbuster Scholastic book series by Aaron Blabey, The Bad Guys is directed by Pierre Perifel (animator, the Kung Fu Panda films), making his feature-directing debut. The film is produced by Damon Ross (development executive Trolls, The Boss Baby, co-producer Nacho Libre) and Rebecca Huntley (associate producer, The Boss Baby). The executive producers are Aaron Blabey, Etan Cohen and Patrick Hughes.
