The first Croods was a sizeable hit, receiving an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Picture and taking over $500 million dollars worldwide and while the sequel may have taken longer than usual – 7 years – the good news comes that Kelly Marie Tran will be taking a voice role in the second film.
The Croods 2 will have the original cast returning, including Nicholas Cage, Emma Stone and Ryan Reynolds. The plot will see the Croods encounter another family known as the Bettermans, with Tran playing the Betterman daughter Dawn, a young teen who becomes good friends with Eep while dealing with overtly strict parents. Dawn’s parent will be voiced by both Peter Dinklage and Leslie Mann respectively. However, The Croods original directors Chris Sanders and Kirk will not be returning due to other projects, with Joel Crawford taking their place.
Kelly Marie Tran’s contribution to the cast of Croods 2 is very exciting for the young and upcoming actress. Joel Crawford express the excitement of her addition to the cast by stating, “From the moment Kelly stepped behind the mic, we knew we had found our Dawn Betterman. She brings the perfect mix of quirkiness and heart to the role and is a perfect addition to our incredible cast.”
The Croods 2 will be released 23rd December 2020.
