After six years, the first official trailer for Den of Thieves 2: Pantera has been released, offering a glimpse into the highly anticipated heist thriller starring Gerard Butler and O'Shea Jackson Jr. This time around, instead of facing off against each other, the two will join forces to execute the diamond heist of a lifetime.
The synopsis remains somewhat vague, stating that "Big Nick (Butler) is back on the chase in Europe, closing in on Donnie (Jackson), who is entangled in the dangerous and unpredictable world of diamond thieves and the infamous Panther mafia as they plan a daring heist at the world’s largest diamond exchange."
In addition to Gerard Butler (300; Olympus Has Fallen) and O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Ingrid Goes West; Godzilla: King of the Monsters) reprising their roles, the sequel's ensemble cast includes Michael Bisping (Triple Threat; Warrior), Salvatore Esposito (Gomorrah; The Immortal), Orli Shuka (Gangs of London; Taken), Evin Ahmad (Snabba Cash; Call Mom!), Cristian Solimeno (Rush; Highlander: The Source), Nazmiye Oral (The Paradise Suite; In Vrijheid), Yasen Zates Atour (The Witcher; Young Wallander), Giuseppe Schillaci (The Perfect Dinner; The Father), Dino Kelly (Peaky Blinders; The Last Czars), Rico Verhoeven (Kickboxer: Retaliation; Undercover), Velibor Topic (Kingsman: The Secret Service; Snatch), Antonio Bustorff (Fatima; A Herdade), and Ciryl Gane (Astérix & Obélix: The Middle Kingdom; The Actors).
Christian Gudegast returns as both writer and director for this sequel to his 2018 sleeper hit, which grossed $80.5 million worldwide on a $30 million budget. Although financial details for the sequel are not yet available, it’s expected to have a similar budget, with hopes for another strong box office performance, especially with minimal competition during its release window.
With Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, fans can expect a high-stakes heist packed with action, suspense, and a fresh dynamic between Butler and Jackson’s characters. The sequel promises to deliver intense thrills as the duo navigates the dangerous underworld of diamond thieves, while tensions rise in a race against time.
