Van Helsing 2 (2025), Hugh Jackman returns as the iconic monster hunter, Gabriel Van Helsing, in a dark, gothic world full of sinister creatures and supernatural dangers. The trailer opens with Van Helsing in an ancient cathedral, receiving a cryptic mission from the secretive Vatican order he once served. This time, his assignment is deadlier than ever: a powerful vampire queen, Lilith, has awakened, and her bloodthirsty legion is spreading chaos across Europe.
The trailer cuts to scenes of fog-drenched forests, abandoned villages, and shadowy castles, capturing the eerie, foreboding atmosphere. Lilith’s power is shown to be unmatched—she can control shadows and even turn her victims into vampire soldiers under her command. She seeks to conquer both the mortal world and the hidden realms of supernatural beings, with a goal that surpasses even Dracula’s: to summon an ancient artifact called the Bloodstone, which grants its wielder the power to control life and death itself.
Van Helsing, though seasoned, is haunted by memories of past battles and the lives he couldn’t save. As he prepares to face Lilith’s dark army, he teams up with Anna Valerious’s younger brother, Nikolai, who harbors his own vendetta against the vampires that decimated his family. Together, they form an uneasy alliance, adding tension as Nikolai blames Van Helsing for not saving his sister in the first film. However, Van Helsing sees Nikolai’s potential and trains him, blending their different fighting styles in action-packed sequences that highlight both men’s resilience and skill.
In the trailer’s midpoint, Van Helsing is seen wielding new, Vatican-designed weapons, including a silver-bladed whip and a gun blessed by holy relics, specifically designed to combat Lilith’s unique powers. Explosive encounters with werewolves, demonic creatures, and Lilith’s elite vampire guards give a sense of the epic battles awaiting him.
The trailer closes with a chilling showdown as Van Helsing confronts Lilith in her lair, surrounded by gothic pillars and eerie red light. Lilith taunts him, hinting at a dark secret from his past that could change his understanding of his own powers. The final shot is an intense face-off, as Van Helsing and Lilith prepare to clash, their shadows merging in the moonlight—a promise of the high-stakes conflict to come.
