A new trailer has been released for Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 ahead of its arrival in theaters on June 14, 2024. This new trailer shows a now teenage Riley facing what it is like to be a middle schooler making new friends while playing hockey.
All of these new life experiences lead to a surprise for Joy, Anger, Fear, and Disgust in the form of Anxiety. Director Kelsey Mann says that this new character promises to stir things up in headquarters. “Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat,” said Mann. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds.”
However, that isn’t the only surprise in store for these older emotions. For Anxiety has brought with her Envy, Boredom, and Embarrassment. All of these emotions will have to be dealt with by Riley as she goes through her teenage years. These new emotions also think the old emotions need to be dealt with as well… by bottling them up. Anxiety rationalizes the move by saying, “Riley’s life requires more sophisticated emotions than all of you!”
Take a look at the official trailer for Inside Out 2 and get a glimpse at the next chapter in Riley’s life and Riley’s emotions:
Inside Out 2 Official Description
Disney and Pixar’s “Inside Out 2” returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone. Maya Hawke lends her voice to Anxiety, alongside Amy Poehler as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Liza Lapira as Disgust. Directed by Kelsey Mann and produced by Mark Nielsen, “Inside Out 2” releases only in theaters Summer 2024.
Along with releasing this new trailer, Pixar also released a new poster as well.
There was also some additional casting news made today. Along with Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith), Fear (voiced by Tony Hale), and Disgust (voiced by Liza Lapira), There are a new group of Emotions perfectly suited for the teenage years:
- Maya Hawke voices Anxiety, the previously announced new arrival bound to shake up everything in headquarters and beyond. A bundle of frazzled energy, Anxiety enthusiastically ensures Riley’s prepared for every possible negative outcome.
- Envy, voiced by Ayo Edebiri, may be small but she sure knows what she wants. She’s perpetually jealous of everything everyone else has, and she’s not afraid to pine over it.
- Ennui, who’s voiced by Adèle Exarchopoulos, couldn’t care less. Bored and lethargic with a well-practiced eye-roll, Ennui adds the perfect amount of teenage apathy to Riley’s personality, when she feels like it.
- Embarrassment, voiced by Paul Walter Hauser, likes to lay low, which isn’t easy for this burly guy with a bright blush-pink complexion.
Along with those referenced above, Kensington Tallman voices Riley Andersen, who’s about to begin high school. Lilimar voices Valentina “Val” Ortiz, a high school hockey player who everyone, including Riley and her friends, looks up to. Diane Lane and Kyle MacLachlan reprise their roles as Riley’s mom and dad; Sumayyah Nuriddin-Green and Grace Lu voice Riley’s besties; and Yvette Nicole Brown voices Coach Roberts, who leads a summer hockey camp.
