'Sing 2' Cast: Who Voices the Animated Characters in the Universal Pictures Musical?

Sing 2 sees an A-list cast lend their voices to their all-singing, all-dancing troupe of animated characters.

Not only are there a number of exciting new actors who appear in the cast, there are also several familiar cast members who originally appeared in the first film.

Here is everything you need to know about the actors who appear in the voice cast for Sing 2.

Who Voices the Characters in 'Sing 2'?

Matthew McConaughey once again leads the cast as Buster Moon, the good-spirited koala who runs the New Moon Theater and helps guide the troupe.

Sing 2 sees Moon and his crew of trusty performers pitch a show to music mogul Jimmy Crystal, who is uninterested until he learns that the koala is old friends with reclusive rock star Clay Calloway.

He gives Moon an ultimatum: he'll give him his show if Calloway is a part of it, prompting a quest to persuade the retired musician to come back into the spotlight one last time.

U2 front man Bono takes on the role of Calloway and even lends his voice to the film's soundtrack as the character.

Original stars Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, Taron Egerton and Nick Kroll all return to reprise their roles as pig singer Rosita, porcupine guitarist Ash, singing gorilla Johnny and dancing pig Gunter, respectively.

Bobby Cannavale is amongst the newbies appearing in the film, taking on the role of wolf media mogul Crystal, and Halsey portrays his daughter Porsha.

Pharrell Williams also joins the cast as Alfonso, an elephant who is a love interest to Tori Kelly's Meena, and Letitia Wright plays Nooshy, a lynx that helps Johnny gain confidence as a dancer.
