Sing 2 is a computer-animated musical comedy film directed by Illumination and released by Universal Pictures in 2021. Garth Jennings once again wrote and directed the sequel to Sing (2016). Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton, Tori Kelly, Nick Kroll, Jennings, Peter Serafinowicz, Jennifer Saunders, and Nick Offerman reprise their roles from the previous film in this sequel.
