Sam Rockwell's Mr. Wolf is a Double Agent in The Bad Guys 2 Trailer (WATCH)
The hotly-anticipated sequel hits the big screen Friday, August 1.
Sam Rockwell's Mr. Wolf and his band of reformed cronies are surprisingly up to good in the second trailer for The Bad Guys 2.
The DreamWorks Animation sequel — which arrives in theaters everywhere this August — finds the former villains trying to go straight. Unfortunately, their criminal past precludes them from landing honest work. Their mission to renounce all felonies is compromised, however, when a new band of baddies dubbed "The Bad Girls" force them into a major heist job. Not willing to compromise their fresh start, Mr. Wolf & Co. hatch a plan to sabotage the heist as double agents.
