Is the musical sequel Sing 2 streaming or in theaters? A complete guide to how to watch the new film, starring Taron Egerton, Scarlett Johansson and Bono.<\/b>
\nFive years after it\u2019s prequel, \u201cSing 2\u201d finally arrives in theaters just in time for Christmas. The first \u201cSing\u201d opened in theaters in 2016, and the onset of the COVID pandemic delayed its sequel from December 25,2020 to fill a slot left open by the corresponding pushback of movie musical adaptation \u201cWicked.\u201d \u201cSing 2\u201d was originally slated for release on Christmas Day of 2020, but the movie was officially pushed back before COVID was a concern, when it was delayed to July 2, 2021. In April of 2020, Universal further delayed \u201cSing 2\u201d to its current set release date, in hopes of making room for Illumination\u2019s other big project, \u201cMinions: The Rise of Gru,\u201d but that movie was eventually delayed also due to obstacles in production. But now \u201cSing 2\u201d is finally here, and families everywhere may be wondering how to watch the sequel. Is it streaming or in theaters? Will it be streaming? We\u2019ve got your answers below. \u201cSing 2\u201d will not be available for streaming the day it releases in theaters. After making its cinematic run at the end of 2021, the film could potentially stream on Peacock \u2014 starting in 2022, all Universal Pictures releases will be streaming on Peacock 45 days after they hit theater. That has not been the case for Universal\u2019s 2021 releases, however, and thus far only \u201cHalloween Kills\u201d was released on Peacock and in theaters on the same day. Yes, starting on Dec.22 \u201cSing 2\u201d will be playing in movie theaters nationwide. The hustling Buster Moon, a dreamer of a koala with grand plans for his local theater, returns in this anticipated sequel film, only this time the stakes are higher, the competition fiercer, and the soundtrack is even more robust. Moon\u2019s crew have their eyes on the prize this time, which consists of a gig performing a brand new show for literal entertainment wolf Jimmy Crystal at his glamorous Crystal Tower Theater in Redshore City. The \u201cSing\u201d gang returns, performing an elaborate rendition of \u201cAlice in Wonderland\u201d laced with instantly recognizable hit songs. But a couple larger-than-life obstacles stand in the way of their journey to fame: a disinterested talent scout who doesn\u2019t think they have what it takes to make it in the big leagues, an intimidating boss (Crystal) to convince otherwise, and then the falsehood that Buster Moon has connections to reclusive rockstar Clay Calloway \u2014 who hasn\u2019t performed in years since the death of his wife, despite the fact that Moon promises Crystal he\u2019ll be performing with them. All kinds of animated antics set to a solid soundtrack \u2014 peppered with both classic hits as well as more recent smash singles \u2014 promise a very entertaining sequel film indeed. The voices lent to the animated characters pack some star power in dialogue alone, but when these well-known voices move to the next level of singing, it becomes a fun guessing game of who voices who. Behind Buster Moon is Matthew McConaughey. Powerhouse Tori Kelly belts out Meena the elephant\u2019s ballads. Reese Witherspoon infuses superhero mother pig Rosita with her tireless energy. Nick Kroll voices hilarious and gregarious piggy power champion Gunter. Taron Egerton voices hard-working Johnny. Jennifer Saunders is Nana, a retired singer and performer who now owns Moon\u2019s theater, saving it from actual rubble when some things went wrong in \u201cSing.\u201d Clay Calloway, the long lost lion rockstar, is voiced by none other than lead singer of U2 himself, Bono. Garth Jennings, director of the \u201cSing\u201d franchise, voices comedic Miss Crawly the lizard with a glass eye. Powerhouse porcupine Ash (Scarlett Johansson) is on her own in this films, and she comes in as a huge help with her fan-based knowledge of Clay Calloway. Other newcomers to the sequel include Bobby Canavale as Jimmy Crystal; Halsey as Crystal\u2019s daughter Porsha; Chelsea Peretti as the talent recruiter dog Suki; Adam Buxton as tough dance teacher Klaus Kickenklober; Letitia Wright as the breakdancing cat Nooshy; Eric Andre as arrogant heartthrob Darius; and Pharrell Williams as the elephant Alfonso (Pharrell Williams). Additionally, filmmaker Wes Anderson has a voice cameo in the film, just like he did in the original \u201cSing\u201d alongside directors Edgar Wright and Chris Renaud (\u201cDespicable Me\u201d), according to Collider. \u201cSing\u201d is available to stream on FuboTV. Before Buster Moon and his performers were big enough to travel to Redshore City and eventually book gigs in other major cities, they were individuals just trying to find ways to live their dreams of singing or playing music. Moon \u2014 who was strapped for cash at the time to keep the theater open and running \u2014 schemed up a way to encourage audiences through a singing competition. Rosita, Ash, Johnny, Gunther, and eventually Meena, with the persuasion from her mom and grandpa, audition for the show, and through the ups and downs of the rollercoaster that Moon runs, they somehow gather crowds to the shell of what once was the theater (due to an extravagant accident involving tanks full of glowing squid) and get noticed by their small town. Characters in the prequel that don\u2019t return in the sequel include Mike the Sinatra-esque singing mouse ( Seth MacFarlane) and Eddie ( John C. Reilly).<\/p>\n
