The Tomorrow War 2 (2025) picks up where the first film left off, with humanity still recovering from the near-extinction event caused by the alien Whitespikes. Chris Pratt returns as Dan Forester, now a world-renowned hero, but new threats loom as the stakes are raised, and this time, the battle against the extraterrestrial menace reaches new heights.
The trailer opens with scenes of Earth in a fragile state of peace after the events of the first film. The world has united in rebuilding, but Dan Forester’s ominous voiceover hints that the victory over the Whitespikes may have been only temporary. The trailer cuts to a top-secret military operation in Antarctica, where a shocking discovery is made: a new alien species, far more advanced than the Whitespikes, is found buried beneath the ice. These creatures, known as the “Ancients,” are revealed to be the original creators of the Whitespikes, sent as biological weapons to conquer planets.
The tension quickly rises as this new threat begins to emerge, with governments scrambling to prepare for an invasion from space. Unlike the mindless, feral Whitespikes, the Ancients are highly intelligent and capable of strategic warfare. They begin waking up, launching coordinated attacks on Earth’s major cities. The trailer shows chaotic scenes of devastation, with massive alien ships hovering over landmarks and explosions tearing through urban landscapes.
Dan is called back into action, but this time, it’s not just a war against alien foot soldiers—it’s a war against a highly advanced species with the power to obliterate humanity. He joins a newly formed global task force, where he’s reunited with his daughter, Muri (Yvonne Strahovski), who is now an expert in extraterrestrial technology. Together, they must decipher the Ancients’ technology and find a way to stop the invasion before it’s too late.
The trailer teases thrilling action sequences, including intense firefights with the Ancients, aerial dogfights with alien ships, and daring missions into the heart of the alien mothership. It also hints at the emotional toll the war takes on Dan, who struggles to keep his family safe while leading the charge against a seemingly unstoppable enemy.
The climax of the trailer shows Dan and his team infiltrating an alien stronghold, where they discover a horrifying truth: the Ancients are not just here to conquer—they plan to terraform Earth and eradicate humanity. The trailer ends with a tense showdown between Dan and the alien leader, setting the stage for a final, epic battle for Earth’s survival.
