Which characters are featured in The Bad Guys 2?

Returning characters from the first movie

• Mr. Wolf (Sam Rockwell) – still trying to stay on the straight and narrow.
• Mr. Snake (Marc Maron) – reluctantly reformed.
• Ms. Tarantula (Awkwafina) – the brains of the operation.
• Mr. Shark (Craig Robinson) – the chameleon of disguises.
• Mr. Piranha (Anthony Ramos) – impulsive as ever.
• Diane Foxington (Zazie Beetz) – now governor, but her past as the Crimson Paw still lingers (Wikipedia).
• Misty Luggins (Alex Borstein) – still chasing the gang as commissioner (Rotten Tomatoes).

New characters: the bird, Kitty Kat, Susan, and the governor

• Kitty Kat – a snow leopard voiced by Danielle Brooks, heads the Bad Girls (Universal Pictures on YouTube).
• Pigtail – a wild boar engineer voiced by Maria Bakalova (Universal Pictures on YouTube).
• Doom / Susan – voiced by Natasha Lyonne, this character has a dual name that suggests a split identity or alias (Rotten Tomatoes).
• The bird – a feathered new character, voice actor unconfirmed.
• Diane Foxington (Zazie Beetz) remains the governor, not a new character but with an expanded political role.

The pattern: The “governor” in the first film’s context was Foxington; new roles like Kitty Kat and Doom provide natural foils for the reformed crew.
