And here are the two teaser posters:

Pretty solid, right? I love that directorElizabeth Banks– who also reprises her role as a capellea announcer Gail – starts the trailer withCups, the huge hit single that came out of the first movie, as a way to ease us back into the world of Barden University, Then things just go crazy, giving us tons of teases for what looks to be a huge, huge movie.

I mean, what is that house of a capella with those cameos? Why are graduated seniors, played byAdam Devine, Anna CampandBrittany Snowstill around? And why does the entire world hate the United States? Well, that last question is inferred as opposed to answered in the movie.

The trailer also only touches on the factHailee Steinfeldis a huge part of this sequel as one of the newest Bellas, and there’s no mention thatKatey Sagalis in the film too. But we get David Cross, so that’s awesome.

I’ve been looking forward toPitch Perfect 2since I walked out of the last one and have since seen it several dozen times. Knowing very, very little about the sequel before seeing this trailer, I was both surprised and encouraged. Banks looks like she knows what the first film did well, and is keeping that tone while expanding everything else.
