The cast of Inside Out 2 has added another major name to its cast list. The film, set to come out this summer, has some hefty expectations sitting on its shoulders for many different reasons, and Disney/Pixar are beginning to tease the new emotions and characters that we'll be meeting even though the release date is six months away. According to Variety, June Squibb has been cast in an unknown role. Squibb is someone who has appeared in many different animated projects, both film and television. She has worked with Pixar in the past on Soul and Toy Story 4, other Disney projects like Ralph Breaks The Internet, and had a role on the show Solar Opposites.

Disney has a weird 2024 ahead of it, with several major movies getting delayed due to the strikes. We were supposed to get two Pixar films this year, but instead, Elio was postponed to 2025, and now Inside Out 2 is the only Pixar film opening this year. Pixar had a strange 2023 with Elemental opening not so great at the box office but managing to keep steady in the following weeks and eventually becoming a success story. It couldn't have come at a better time since Pixar was the studio that seemed like it couldn't bounce back after having three of its features go to streaming due to the pandemic. Inside Out is often called one of the best Pixar has ever made, and this second is going to have an extremely high bar to clear, much higher than an original production like Elio would have to clear because the expectations will be higher.
