Directed by Tim Story from a script by Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi, the soon-to-be-released feature follows Ben Barber (Hart) and James Peyton (Ice Cube) who accept an assignment to infiltrate a drug cartel in Miami and prevent any trace of the illegal substance from falling into the wrong hands. Such a daring mission naturally requires an understanding of keeping a low profile which, as today’s brand new trailer reveals, isn’t something that our bumbling duo are terribly well versed in.

Having earned a stellar $159 million off the back of a budget of $25 million, it’s small wonder why Universal fast-tracked the release of a sequel. It’s now less than two months from release, and the latest slice of footage offers up plenty to get excited about, from the gleefully over-the-top action to a wink and a nudge toward Universal’s Fast and Furious franchise via a Tyrese Gibson cameo.

Also starring Hangover and Community favorite Ken Jeong, Olivia Munn, Tika Sumpter, Benjamin Bratt, and Sherri Shepherd, Ride Along 2 will plot course for theaters on January 15, 2016.
