Anxiety at the control panel in Inside Out 2 flanked by Embarrassment and Envy while Ennui sits on a couch

The Big Picture Theaters everywhere are about to welcome some big new emotions this summer with the arrival of Inside Out 2. The hotly-anticipated sequel returns to the mind of Riley as she enters her teenage years and experiences puberty, high school, and new relationships. As she reaches a new milestone in life, things also get more complicated for Joy and her fellow emotions, as far more complex feelings try to take control.

"The process, we kinda take it emotion by emotion and what we’re looking for is for actors out there that purely embody the character that we are building," Nielsen said. "So, you know, going back to the first film, Lewis Black, when you think about Anger, and if you’ve seen any of his comedy, there was no question that there wasn’t anybody else that could play that character.

"I have a list in front of me that just says 'Actor One,' 'Actor Two,' 'Actor Three,' and then they go 'Okay. Actor One,' and then they just play a bunch of clips. And I go, 'Oh, that’s interesting.' Sometimes I’m like, 'Mmm, I know who that is.' But sometimes I don’t. And sometimes they say like 'Oh, do you, that’s so and so.' I’m like 'Oh my God, oh, it is.

"At EPCOT, yeah," Mann continued. "So, we went out to like to do an audition with Maya, and Mark was like, 'Good news is she said, ‘Yes.’ She would love to audition and meet with you. Bad news is it’s during your vacation.' So, me and my kids, we were all at Disney World. I’m like 'Ah, man, I’m at Disney World.' He’s like 'Don’t worry, we’ll figure something out.
