The iconic monster hunter returns in Van Helsing 2 (2024), an action-packed sequel to the 2004 film. Universal Pictures revives the dark, gothic world of the supernatural, bringing fans a fresh chapter in the story of Gabriel Van Helsing, played once again by Hugh Jackman. Directed by a new visionary, this highly anticipated installment promises to expand the Van Helsing universe with thrilling action, deeper lore, and terrifying new creatures.

A mysterious order has uncovered a hidden ancient evil—an even more dangerous adversary than Dracula. Joined by a cunning thief (rumored to be played by a breakout actor) and a resourceful alchemist, Van Helsing must face a world of shadowy conspiracies, unholy alliances, and his own dark past.
Flashes of intense battles reveal monstrous adversaries: werewolves, banshees, and a towering demon that appears to be the film’s central antagonist. The trailer ends with Van Helsing uttering, “Evil always rises… but so do I.”
