The action-packed world of Rampage is back! Warner Bros. has released the teaser trailer for the highly anticipated sequel, Rampage 2. Featuring the return of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the follow-up promises to deliver even bigger monsters, higher stakes, and jaw-dropping action. Building on the massive success of the first film, Rampage 2 is set to bring audiences another adrenaline-filled adventure when it premieres in summer 2025.
Teaser Trailer Breakdown
The teaser opens with a haunting aerial view of a devastated city, littered with towering debris and signs of massive destruction. As the camera zooms in, we see George, the giant albino gorilla, standing atop a crumbled skyscraper—now larger and more battle-scarred than ever. A voiceover from Dwayne Johnson’s character, Davis Okoye, states:
“We thought we saved the world. But nature has a way of reminding us who’s in charge.”
The trailer quickly shifts to glimpses of new and even more terrifying creatures—mutated monsters wreaking havoc across urban and natural landscapes. From a colossal aquatic beast attacking a naval fleet to a winged monstrosity terrorizing a desert town, the stakes have clearly been raised.
The final moments of the teaser show Davis and George teaming up once again, with Davis piloting a massive military exosuit, ready for battle. The screen cuts to black with the tagline:
“When chaos evolves, heroes rise.”
Plot Details
In Rampage 2, Davis Okoye (Dwayne Johnson) is forced to confront a new global threat when a rogue biotech company accidentally unleashes a second wave of genetic mutations—this time affecting multiple ecosystems around the world. With George, his gorilla companion, now a trusted ally and protector, Davis embarks on a mission to stop the new wave of destruction.
The sequel expands the scope of the original, taking the action across continents and introducing new creatures, including a terrifying hybrid sea monster and a bird-reptile mutation capable of flight.
