Attention: this article contains spoilers for Sing 2.

In 2021, Sing 2 brought back the gang for another musical adventure with all the star power of the first, as well as the animated debut of rock legend Bono.
“Sing 2″ continues indefinitely after the end of Sing, when the actors perform the musical “Alice in Wonderland” in the rebuilt Buster Moon New Moon Theater.
