2015 Upside down stay in the middle best pixar movies the animation studio never did. So when we learned that a sequel was in the works a few months ago, we weren’t at all surprised that Pixar wanted to play with emotion again. However, as far as casting goes, it has only been confirmed that Amy Poehler will be returning to voice Joy in upside down 2, being pretty much up in the air as far as the rest of Riley’s core emotions go. An actor just confirmed he’s not participating in Pixar’s sequel.
Bill Hader and Mindy Kaling, who played Fear and Disgust in the 2015 film, are said to allegedly fired due to salary discrepancies reprise their roles in upside down 2. Poehler was apparently offered $5 million, while Pixar offered Hader and Kaling $100,000 each. When asked about his involvement in the sequel recently, Kaling said:
I had a lot of fun working on Inside Out and I’m sure Inside Out 2 will be great. But I’m not working on it.
Kaling’s words come from an interview with the casing before the actress clarified she was not a part of it upside down 2 “now.” This may change in the future as the film develops. animation projects like upside down 2 take various forms during production and before next disney movie perhaps Kaling and Pixar could still work out a compensation deal.
Since when what we know upside down 2 , the sequel will follow Riley as a teenager after the original film put us in our heads at age 11. New emotions will be introduced that have not yet been announced. However, it wouldn’t have made sense to remove the feelings of disgust and fear from her head. Perhaps if Mindy Kaling and Pixar don’t make a decision, they will be recast by new voice actors.
The actress is currently preparing her animated series, Velmawhich he co-created and stars in the title role, will premiere on HBO Max on January 12. Kaling started out as a writer and actress on the staff of Office (which she says wouldn’t work today) before creating and playing The Mindy Project for six seasons. Kaling went on to become a successful writer, producer and actress in Hollywood, also creating series such as The sex life of college girls Yes I never. Surely his name and his voice upside down 2 worth more than $100,000 to produce?
On the other hand, it’s been a while since Pixar has had a blockbuster movie. As of 2020, only one of the studio’s films has been released directly to theaters instead of Disney+, e Light year not a big winner at the 2022 box office. Maybe the company is cutting budgets for actors? Separate questions for upside down 2the film will be released on June 14, 2024. Pixar has plenty of time to shed some light on what’s going on with the sequel, but right now Kaling isn’t one of them.
