If you’ve been wondering since the dark days of the pandemic how the Garrity family’s been getting along since surviving that Earth-smashing comet—you’re about to get all the answers. Greenland 2: Migration, the sequel to the surprise 2020 hit starring Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin, hits theaters this week, and a final trailer teases more of the chaos to come, plus some added reassurance that not all is lost.
The planet is still in a state of violent flux, with comet fragments still raining down, along with earthquakes, tidal waves, superstorms, and other natural disasters—plus human-made nightmares galore.
The final Greenland 2 trailer also underlines the film’s emotional component as the Garrity family searches for a new place to thrive in the post-apocalypse (those survival bunkers didn’t really have “forever home” written all over them, after all). We hear Butler’s character yearn “to build a world led by kindness and compassion and understanding, one not just worth living in, but living for,” and promise to take care of his wife and son “until my last breath.”
Will they make it to safety for a second time? We’ll find out when Greenland 2: Migration hits theaters January 9. It’s directed by Ric Roman Waugh, who also directed Greenland; along with Butler and Baccarin, it stars Roman Griffin Davis, Amber Rose Revah, Sophie Thompson, Trond Fausa Aurvåg, and William Abadie.
