1. Amy Poehler as Joy
![amy-poehler-as-joy-in-inside-out-voiceover-cast](https://watchinamerica.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/image-1-76.jpg)
Amy Poehler is back in Inside Out 2 as Joy, Riley’s happiest and bubbliest emotion. Joy is the leader of Riley’s emotions, including Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger. But when Anxiety and new emotions join the team, Joy has to find a way to keep helping Riley while dealing with Anxiety. In 2024, Poehler shared how much the role means to her.
“When I work on it, it’s so deep, It’s like talking to your inner child, talking to yourself as a parent, talking to who you are now, and talking to your future self.”
Poehler is well-known for playing Leslie Knope, the super positive Deputy Director of a parks department, in the TV show Parks and Recreation from 2009 to 2015. After the show ended, she created a crafting show called Making It with her Parks and Recreation co-star Nick Offerman, which even got nominated for an Emmy.
2. Phyllis Smith As Sadness

Phyllis Smith is back as Sadness in Inside Out 2. In the first movie, Sadness and Joy didn’t always agree on how to help Riley after her move. But they learned to work together. Now, with Anxiety coming into the picture, they’ll probably need to team up again.
Smith started her Hollywood journey as a casting associate and had some small acting gigs, like being an extra in Caddyshack in 1980. Twenty-five years later, while working as a casting associate on The Office, she did such a great job reading lines for auditions that they decided to cast her on the show. Her way of delivering lines without much emotion as Phyllis on The Office, and her role in the movie Bad Teacher in 2011, helped her get the role of Sadness in Inside Out.
3. Lewis Black As Anger

Lewis Black is back as Anger in Inside Out 2. Just like Joy and Sadness, Anger has to deal with Riley’s new emotions in the movie. In the trailer, it looks like Anxiety and her friends kick out Anger, Joy, Sadness, Fear, and Disgust from headquarters, which causes big problems for them.
Apart from Inside Out, Black has been in movies like Accepted and has appeared on TV shows like Law & Order and The Big Bang Theory, but he’s most famous for his stand-up comedy. Comedy Central even ranked him among the top 100 stand-up comics of all time. He’s known for his funny, angry rants about everything from politics to daily life.
4. Tony Hale as Fear

Tony Hale is now the voice of Fear in Inside Out 2, replacing Bill Hader from the first movie. Pixar and Disney confirmed that Hale will take over the role for the sequel.
After appearing in small roles on shows like The Sopranos, and Dawson’s Creek, Hale got his big break as Buster Bluth, who is scared of almost everything, on Arrested Development in 2003. He also won an Emmy for playing Gary Walsh in Veep. Hale has done voice acting too, like playing Forky in Pixar’s Toy Story 4 in 2019.
When he was picked to voice Fear in Inside Out 2, Hale shared his excitement about the news.

Liza Lapira is now the voice of Disgust in Inside Out 2, taking over from Mindy Kaling. Kaling decided not to come back for the sequel, so Lapira joined the cast instead. Disgust and Fear are the only emotions with new voices in the sequel, but their roles will still be important.
She began her acting career in 1999 on Law & Order: SVU and appeared in various TV shows like The Sopranos. Lapira also starred in the CBS show The Equalizer alongside Queen Latifah in 2021.

Maya Hawke joins the cast of Inside Out 2 as Anxiety, one of Riley’s new teenage emotions. Anxiety’s role is important as she starts interacting with the other emotions, but they don’t always agree on how to handle Riley’s teenage challenges. Anxiety wants to prepare for every negative outcome, which leads to her banishing Joy, Sadness, Fear, Disgust, and Anger from headquarters. It seems like Hawke’s character is the villain in Inside Out 2.
While studying acting at the Juilliard School in New York, Hawke left school when she was offered a starring role in the BBC’s Little Women. She became well-known for her role as Robin Buckley in the third season of Netflix’s Stranger Things in 2019, where she played a funny and clever character.
Before Inside Out 2 came out, Hawke said that the story touched her so much that she cried during the audition.
“There’s something about this story and these characters that I think shows important truths about our lives, It’s so relatable, so emotional, so pure, that whether you want to or not, you draw from your own experiences.”
Hawke told Empire in 2024
