Following the success of the 2021 sci-fi action film The Tomorrow War, Paramount Pictures is set to release The Tomorrow War 2 in 2025. Directed by Chris McKay and starring Chris Pratt once again, the sequel promises to raise the stakes with a new threat, more explosive action, and a deeper dive into time-travel warfare.
The original The Tomorrow War followed a group of soldiers and civilians from the present day who were drafted to fight a future alien invasion. After a gripping battle against the deadly White Spikes in the future, the first film ended with Dan Forester (Pratt) managing to stop the alien threat and save humanity. However, the trailer for The Tomorrow War 2 hints that peace was short-lived, and an even more dangerous alien species is emerging, threatening both the future and the present.
The trailer opens with a foreboding voiceover from Dan, who has tried to move on from the war. He’s now a family man, but when future soldiers once again arrive to demand his help, he’s pulled back into the fray. This time, however, the mission is even more complex: not only do they need to defeat a new, evolved species of White Spikes, but they also discover that a rogue faction of humans from the future is manipulating the timeline for their own gain.
Explosive action sequences dominate the trailer, with futuristic weapons, massive battles, and high-stakes chases through both urban landscapes and frozen wastelands. The film promises larger set pieces, enhanced special effects, and a more intricate time-travel narrative that delves deeper into how the past and future are intertwined. Dan is joined by returning characters, including Yvonne Strahovski’s Colonel Muri Forester and Sam Richardson’s Charlie, as well as new allies who bring fresh dynamics to the fight.
With an estimated budget of $200 million, The Tomorrow War 2 is set to be a blockbuster event, filled with mind-bending time travel, jaw-dropping action, and a gripping plot. As the fate of humanity hangs in the balance once again, this thrilling sequel aims to deliver bigger spectacle and emotional stakes, making it one of the most anticipated films of 2025.
