While Amy Poehler will be back to reprise her role as one of the lead “feelings,” Joy, further details of the cast for the animated film’s sequel have not yet been revealed. Alongside Amy Poehler, the original Inside Out (2015) starred Bill Hader as Fear, Mindy Kaling as Envy, Lewis Black as Anger, and Phyllis Smith as Sadness, who were all encompassed in the mind of 11-year-old Riley, played by voice actress Kaitlyn Dias.
