Netflix has unveiled the much-anticipated first trailer for Red Notice 2
, reuniting Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds in another high-octane globetrotting adventure. Building on the success of the 2021 original, this sequel promises bigger stakes, jaw-dropping action, and the same signature wit that made the first film a hit.
Trailer Breakdown
The trailer opens with a dramatic heist scene:
- A Grand Theft
: Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) is seen infiltrating an extravagant museum gala, cracking a high-tech security vault in his trademark cheeky style. - A Double Cross
: The Bishop (Gal Gadot) interrupts Booth mid-heist, revealing she’s working for a mysterious client with her own agenda. - A Call to Arms
: John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson), now operating outside law enforcement, is reluctantly pulled back into action when an ancient artifact with world-ending implications is stolen by a rival thief (played by Idris Elba).
The trailer highlights thrilling chase sequences, including:
- A motorcycle pursuit across the rooftops of Istanbul.
- Underwater combat in a sunken temple.
- A climactic fight aboard a speeding bullet train.
The humor remains intact, with Booth’s quips and Hartley’s exasperated reactions creating moments of levity amid the action. A standout moment features Booth casually diffusing a bomb by accident, prompting Hartley to mutter, “I’m not even surprised anymore.”
