Director Kelsey Mann hints that Anxiety will be a force to be reckoned with: “Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she’s not the type to take a back seat,” said Mann. “That makes a lot of sense if you think about what goes on inside all our minds.” You can Watch the trailer below:
