The Bad Guys is an animated film by Universal Pictures that hit U.S. theaters in spring 2022. The movie follows a group of five criminal animals, who seize every opportunity to plot a heist, swindler the vulnerable and more.
These crooks are known as "Bad Guys" and are led by the insanely crafty, slick-witted Mr. Wolf, who despite having lived a life of crime has a sudden change of heart.
The gray wolf comes to the realization that living an honest, good life isn't such a bad thing after all, and ropes his posse into following the same righteous path as he.
Of course, the journey to being good-natured doesn't come easy for the gang. Newsweek has all the details on the voices behind The Bad Guys characters.
