The sequel to 2016’s Sing is here, and the trailer is weirdly emotional to me on a Thursday? What…is happening?
Written and directed by Garth Jennings, Sing 2 sees Matthew McConaughey return as koala Buster Moon, who is apparently doing well with his New Moon Theatre. He’s got big plans to debut a new show at a flashy venue in the entertainment capital of Redshore City with his animal performer buddies — Rosita the pig (Reese Witherspoon), Ash the porcupine (Scarlett Johansson), Johnny the gorilla (Taron Egerton), Meena the elephant (Tori Kelly) and Gunter the pig (Nick Kroll). But in order to do it, they’ll have to convince Bono (yes, Bono) to join their team — you’ll spy Johansson as Ash singing U2’s “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” in the trailer.
I reckon they might have to…sing their way through this journey, and the soundtrack’s going to be filled with big songs, this time from the likes of BTS, Billie Eilish, Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, Drake,The Weeknd, Prince, Cardi B, J Balvin, Shawn Mendes, and Camila Cabello — and of course, U2.
Sing 2 will also see a whole bunch of additions to the cast including Pharrell Williams, Letitia Wright, Eric André, and Chelsea Peretti.
Sing 2 hits cinemas Dec. 22.
