Everyone’s favourite gruff, world-saving everyman John Garrity — aka Gerard Butler — is back, dusting off his apocalypse gear for Greenland 2: Migration, Ric Roman Waugh’s sequel to his own surprisingly kinda brilliant 2021 disaster flick Greenland. And if the first trailer for Garrity’s return is anything to go by, then it looks like things are about to get even more intense than last time as Gerry B’s apocalyptic fight for survival continues. Take a look at it here:
After a reminder of how much shit hit the fan in the first film, the new trailer catches up with the Garritys five years on from killer comet Clarke’s first contact with terra firma. They are still holed up underground, with Butler’s John trying to convince a now older Nathan (this time played by Jojo Rabbit’s Roman Griffin Davis) and wife Allison (Morena Baccarin) that their claustrophobic new way of life is, well, just the new normal. (Ringing any bells?) Mainly because outside is still a hellscape, and venturing out there means nature will have you scurrying back underground in no time.
But it’s not all doom and gloom, because there might just be a glimmer of hope in the shape of a massive crater in southern France that’s rumoured to have survived the comet’s destruction. Yes, Butler is braving the apocalypse once again, this time leading his family and a group of fellow survivors on a dangerous journey in search of refuge. And if you loved the first film’s portrayal of environmental mayhem, then have no fear — there’s plenty more of it here.
With the first film such a hit on streaming, it’s no surprise that we’ve got a follow-up, and it looks suitably epic. Regular Gerry B collaborator Ric Roman Waugh (Kandahar, Angel Has Fallen) is back and once again calling the shots, with Chris Sparling and Mitchell LaFortune on script duties and a supporting cast featuring the likes of Amber Rose Revah, Sophie Thompson, Trond Fausa Aurvåg, and William Abadie.
Will we see Gerard Butler punch the weather this time around? Well, you can find out very soon, because Greenland 2: Migration is out on 9 January 2026.
