The first official trailer for Wrath of Man 2, the highly anticipated sequel to Guy Ritchie’s 2021 heist-thriller, has just been released. Starring Jason Statham as the enigmatic and ruthless H, the sequel promises even more intense action, intrigue, and revenge as it builds on the gritty foundation of the original.
A New Mission, A New Wrath
The trailer begins with a haunting monologue from H, hinting at his lingering thirst for vengeance:
“When you’ve lost everything, there’s nothing left to fear. Except the man with nothing to lose.”
Set against the backdrop of international crime syndicates and dangerous heists, Wrath of Man 2 follows H as he emerges from the shadows to take on a global network of arms dealers and mercenaries. His goal? To dismantle the empire that financed the events that cost him his family—and to uncover a betrayal closer to home.
The Plot Thickens
In the sequel, H is no longer working solo. The trailer introduces his new ally, a cunning and resourceful former MI6 operative played by Charlize Theron. Together, they set out to take down a crime lord known only as “The Broker,” whose reach extends across continents and whose power rivals anything H has faced before.
The stakes are higher, the targets more dangerous, and the betrayals more personal.
