More about the movie
Inside Out 2 continues the story of Riley, now 13 years old, as she navigates the challenges of adolescence. The film explores how new and unfamiliar emotions such as anxiety, embarrassment, boredom, and envy disrupt the once harmonious control center of Riley’s mind.
The original characters, including Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear, return, but they now face new obstacles as they encounter these additional emotions. As the narrative unfolds, Lance finds himself meeting Joy, Sadness, Anger, Disgust, and Fear, who are trapped in a glass bottle by the new emotions that have taken over Riley's emotion control center in the trailer.
Inside Out 2 directed by Kelsey Mann, promises to feature the same emotional depth and heartwarming moments that made the first film a global sensation.
Lee Dong-wook made headlines earlier this year after he took part in a live stream on Na Yeong-seok's radio show, Egg is Coming. The live broadcast was later uploaded to the producer's YouTube page, Channel Fullmoon. During the interview, the Bad and Crazy actor revealed that he once contemplated retiring from the entertainment industry and relocating to another country due to professional setbacks.
However, he mentioned that his Guardian: The Lonely and Great God co-star, Gong Yoo, played a significant role in helping him overcome this slump. Fans are now excited to witness him voicing Lance in Inside Out 2 when it releases on June 12, 2024.
