Cars 2 was the first Pixar Cars film to feature Michael Caine as Finn McMissile.
Finn McMissile is a British spy car who recruits Mater after mistaking him for an American agent. Caine provides the character's voice, playing the role with the polished tone associated with classic espionage films. Finn becomes one of the story's central figures as the World Grand Prix and the fuel conspiracy unfold.
Cars 2 was released in 2011 and expanded the franchise beyond the original film's small-town racing story. Its international settings and spy plot introduced a different genre framework while retaining Lightning McQueen, Mater, and other familiar characters.
Finn McMissile should not be confused with Holley Shiftwell, another British intelligence agent in the film, voiced by Emily Mortimer. Michael Caine did not voice a character in Cars or Cars 3.
