After 30 years, one of the most beloved films in cinematic history returns with Forrest Gump 2 (2025). Tom Hanks reprises his Oscar-winning role as Forrest Gump in this long-awaited sequel, joined by Timothée Chalamet in a story that spans generations, exploring love, loss, and the ever-changing world around us. Based on Winston Groom’s novel Gump & Co., this emotional and nostalgic follow-up promises to capture the magic of the original while introducing a new journey of self-discovery.

Trailer Breakdown

The teaser opens with a familiar scene—Forrest sitting on a park bench, holding a feather in his hands. His voice, aged yet warm, narrates:

“Life used to be like a box of chocolates… but now, it’s more like a puzzle. And I’m still figuring it out.”

🔹 A Father’s Journey: Forrest is now an older man, living a quiet life in Alabama, raising his son, Forrest Jr. (played by Timothée Chalamet), who struggles to find his own path in a rapidly changing world.
🔹 Forrest in the 21st Century: The trailer flashes through historical events where Forrest unknowingly finds himself involved again—helping build the first iPhone, accidentally influencing social media trends, and even running into world leaders.
🔹 A New Love Story? A brief glimpse shows Forrest reconnecting with an old friend (played by a yet-to-be-announced actress), hinting at a potential second chance at love.
🔹 A Son’s Footsteps: As Forrest Jr. struggles to live outside of his father’s shadow, he embarks on his own journey, learning what it means to create his own destiny while carrying his father’s legacy forward.
🔹 A Familiar Run: The trailer ends with a breathtaking shot of Forrest and his son running together across a sunset-lit road, the iconic score swelling in the background.
