Following the events of The Great Wall (2016), the highly anticipated sequel The Great Wall 2 (2025) is set to expand the epic fantasy-action world created by director Zhang Yimou. Blending Chinese mythology with Hollywood spectacle, the sequel promises even grander battles, deeper lore, and an intense fight for humanity’s survival.

Picking up years after the first film, the story follows Commander Lin Mae (Jing Tian) as she leads a new generation of warriors within the Nameless Order. After the defeat of the Taotie Queen, peace seemed restored, but ancient texts warn that the creatures were only part of a much greater threat. When strange seismic activity awakens a new enemy from deep beneath the mountains, the Great Wall faces its most terrifying challenge yet.

Meanwhile, William (Matt Damon) and Tovar (Pedro Pascal) return to China after receiving a desperate call for help. But this time, the battle isn’t just about defending the Wall—it’s about uncovering the dark origins of the Taotie and a long-buried secret that could change the fate of the world. With alliances tested and a war looming on an unprecedented scale, the Nameless Order must fight harder than ever to stop an ancient force from wiping out civilization.

With Zhang Yimou’s signature visual style, The Great Wall 2 is set to deliver breathtaking action sequences, stunning cinematography, and a deeper dive into Chinese folklore. Fans can expect intense battles, new monstrous threats, and an epic continuation of the East-West cinematic collaboration that made the first film a unique spectacle.
