The sun rises again — brighter, bolder, and filled with dreams waiting to be claimed. Annie 2: Tomorrow Begins Today rekindles the heart, humor, and irresistible optimism of the beloved 1982 classic, transforming its spirit into a modern, cinematic spectacle that honors the original while introducing an inspiring new chapter for today’s generation.
Now a spirited and determined teenager, Annie (Millie Bobby Brown) has grown into a confident, courageous young woman who refuses to ignore the struggles of children still trapped in the shadows — kids who remind her deeply of the girl she once was. Under the warm, unwavering care of billionaire philanthropist Oliver “Daddy” Warbucks (Hugh Jackman), Annie has blossomed into someone who wants to change the world, one voice at a time.
But the world pushes back.
Just as Warbucks prepares to launch his most ambitious initiative to reform child welfare nationwide, a sudden political scandal erupts, threatening to dismantle everything he has built. A powerful, calculating senator (Viola Davis) seizes the moment, using an aggressive investigation to target Warbucks and every child he has ever tried to help. In her crusade for power, she orders agents to dig into Annie’s past — and what they find could shatter her future.
Rumors spread. Questions arise. And soon, the nation is confronted with a shocking possibility: Was Annie’s adoption ever legally valid? Could the little girl who finally found her home be ripped away from the only family she’s ever truly loved?
In the middle of the chaos, one person sees an opportunity — a twisted, gleeful chance at revenge.
Miss Hannigan (Melissa McCarthy), now desperate to claw her way back into relevance, emerges with a dramatic comeback scheme that throws Annie into even deeper danger. Bigger, brasher, and more unhinged than ever, Hannigan allies herself with powerful enemies who want to weaponize Annie’s past for their own gain — and she’s more than happy to play along if it means finally getting the upper hand.
Refusing to bow to fear, Annie teams up with her loyal best friend Charlie (Jacob Tremblay), embarking on a whirlwind musical journey across New York City. From hidden adoption records to abandoned orphanage files to forgotten allies from her earliest days, Annie must piece together the truth of her own story to protect the people she loves — and the children still suffering under systems that failed her.
Through heart-pounding adventure, show-stopping musical numbers, and emotional revelations, Annie learns that her strength has never come from who adopted her — but from who she has become.
And in a beautiful touch of legacy, Aileen Quinn, the original Annie, appears in a moving cameo that ties past and present together, reminding audiences that hope is a flame passed from one generation to the next.
Filled with soaring choruses, touching nostalgia, electrifying performances, and a powerful message about family, justice, and the courage to fight for tomorrow, Annie 2: Tomorrow Begins Today proves that the promise of “tomorrow” isn’t something we wait for —
it’s something we create.
