Ever since they first jumped from the pages of a graphic novel to the massive display screen again in 2022, the titular group of anthropomorphic animals in The Dangerous Guys has executed just a little little bit of every part. From crashing black-tie galas of their debut, to coming into the ring in luchador matches and going to outer area within the 2025 film The Dangerous Guys 2, they’ve executed all of it. Now, Craig Robinson, who voices grasp of disguise Mr. Shark, has an outrageous concept for a musical.
I not too long ago sat down with Robinson to debate the house launch of The Dangerous Guys 2, and through our chat, I floated the concept of his character having extra musical moments transferring ahead, contemplating The Workplace alum’s background. Anticipating to listen to an concept for a track, I used to be blown away when he got here up with an concept so loopy that it must work:
I imply, it might most likely should be a scene the place Mr. Shark performs all of the characters within the musical. So I may undoubtedly see him like working off, switching, and coming again, after which most likely even do a concord with himself.
Nicely, contemplating Mr. Shark is such an amazing grasp of disguise in The Dangerous Guys 2 (I nonetheless don’t understand how this works, however I’ll enable it), it makes excellent sense for the huge apex predator to behave like his fellow slightly-reformed criminals. Simply think about Robinson impersonating Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina and Anthony Ramos whereas swapping out costumes and devices. It virtually writes itself.
Once I requested Robinson, who as soon as informed us a couple of mind-blowing concept for Sizzling Tub Time Machine 3, if performing songs as Mr. Shark (one thing he’s executed already within the DreamWorks Animation franchise) opens a distinct facet of him, he had this to say:
Completely. So, you realize, once you introduce the music ingredient, it permits me to go some place else. In [The Bad Guys 2], we did the church scene. I grew up in church. So, it was like having house court docket benefit, you realize? So, I used to be simply stepping into and was capable of actually do my factor.
I gained’t destroy this hilarious scene for many who didn’t see The Dangerous Guys 2 when it opened in theaters in early August, however simply know that it entails a marriage, a sure wolf underneath a veil, and a complete lot of soul. Although the scene wasn’t as ridiculous as a sure fart joke in Earth’s orbit, it created a number of the most absurd moments in the entire film.
Nothing has been set in stone with regards to a 3rd film, however Craig Robinson seems like he’s greater than right down to take this franchise to new heights, with or with out over-the-top musical numbers. If and when that occurs, I’ll be there to see the wild, loopy, superbly animated book-to-screen adaptation.
The Dangerous Guys 2 is now obtainable to hire or purchase on VOD providers. In case you don’t need to watch the brand new film streaming, it will likely be obtainable on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD beginning October 7.
