My friend Is upgrading to a dynamic mic and I'm worried his um2 won't have enough gain to power the -57db of the mic

Th UM2 just kinda sucks overall, it's a legacy devices with no dedicated drivers. 
If they already have the UM2 they can always try it and if it doesn't go well just get an inline preamp like the Klark Teknik CT1

He decided to upgrade his interface aswell. I told him to unplug his microphone and crank up the gain to 85% and listen to it. He found it way to noisey
