Nine years after the beloved Pixar original released, fans are gearing up for Inside Out 2 as the sequel’s first trailer dropped November 9. The upcoming movie features a new emotion: Anxiety, who is voiced by rising star Maya Hawke. In the trailer, the other emotions—Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust—are surprised by Anxiety and the abrupt changes she introduces. “Anxiety… might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat,” the movie’s director Kelsey Mann said in a news release. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds.” Hawke co-stars with Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black, Tony Hale, and Liza Lapira. Inside Out 2 heads to theaters on June 14, 2024.
