Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling will not return as Fear and Disgust in ‘INSIDE OUT 2’.




Tony Hale and Liza Lapira will replace them respectively. Amy Pohler was offered $5M to reprise her role. (With bonuses)


Mindy Kahling and Bill Hader were offfered $100k. So they exited. Alongside Anxiety, a few other new voices pop up in the trailer, as Hale and Lapira replace original Inside Out stars Bill Hader (as Fear) and Mindy Kaling (as Disgust).


Released in 2015, Inside Out tells the story of Riley, a young girl whose life is upended by her parents’ decision to move from the Midwest to San Francisco. From resenting her dad to first-day nerves at school, it illustrated the highs and lows of her day-to-day life via the emotions inside her head: Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear, and Disgust.


Director Kelsey Mann explained that Anxiety “might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat” in a press release for the film. He continued, “That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds.”


It was a critical and commercial smash hit, grossing more than $850 million worldwide and going on to be regarded as one of the best Pixar movies in its history, as well as winning the Oscar for Best Animated Feature.


While the animation studio’s pop-cultural dominance hasn’t been as strong in recent years, it’s gearing up for a huge summer sequel with Inside Out 2 – but two stars haven’t returned. The trailer also showed off a new emotion and star: Anxiety, played by Maya Hawke. “[She] might be new to the crew, but she’s not really the type to take a back seat,” director Kelsey Mann said in a press release.


The official synopsis reads: “Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 returns to the mind of newly minted teenager Riley just as headquarters is undergoing a sudden demolition to make room for something entirely unexpected: new Emotions! Joy, Sadness, Anger, Fear and Disgust, who’ve long been running a successful operation by all accounts, aren’t sure how to feel when Anxiety shows up. And it looks like she’s not alone.”
