In Jack the Giant Slayer 2 (2025), Nicholas Hoult reprises his role as Jack, but this time, the stakes are higher, and the giants are more dangerous than ever before. The official trailer opens with a quiet, peaceful view of the kingdom, now thriving after Jack’s defeat of the giants in the first film. However, that peace is short-lived as a mysterious figure discovers the remnants of the beanstalk, resurrecting the giant race with dark magic.
The trailer hints at the arrival of a new, malevolent force — an ancient giant king who has awakened after centuries of slumber. This giant, far more powerful and ruthless than any Jack has faced before, seeks revenge for his fallen kin. With the magical power to control the beanstalks and unleash an army of giants, the giant king wages war on the human kingdom, threatening to destroy everything in his path.
Jack, now a seasoned warrior, must once again rise to the challenge. The trailer showcases thrilling action scenes, with Jack teaming up with Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson), who now rules the kingdom as queen. Together, they must forge an uneasy alliance with former enemies, including some surviving giants from the first film, to prevent total annihilation.
The trailer also teases new locations, including a hidden world in the clouds where the ancient giant king has his fortress. The action is intense, with Jack scaling a massive beanstalk to infiltrate the giant’s stronghold while engaging in deadly aerial battles. The giants are bigger, meaner, and equipped with more dangerous weapons than ever before.
The climax of the trailer shows Jack facing off against the giant king in a one-on-one battle, with both wielding powerful enchanted weapons. The screen goes black as Jack delivers a final blow, but the trailer ends on a cliffhanger with a cryptic line: “This is just the beginning.”
