Van Helsing 2 (2025) marks the return of Hugh Jackman as the iconic monster hunter, Gabriel Van Helsing, in a dark and thrilling continuation of the supernatural saga. Set years after the first film, Van Helsing is drawn back into the world of monsters when an ancient evil resurfaces, threatening humanity in ways unimaginable.
The trailer opens with Van Helsing living in a secluded village, haunted by the memories of the monsters he once fought and the loss of his friend, Anna Valerious. His peace is disrupted when the Vatican summons him back, warning of a dire threat—Dracula is being resurrected by a powerful vampire queen, Countess Lillith (played by a new antagonist). This queen is determined to succeed where Dracula failed, intending to raise an unstoppable army of undead and take control of the world.
Van Helsing, although reluctant at first, accepts the mission, armed with new weapons and tools crafted by the church’s secret order. The journey takes him across dark landscapes, from gothic castles in Transylvania to ancient crypts buried in forgotten lands. Along the way, Van Helsing encounters new threats: werewolves, demons, and creatures even more monstrous than before. The film introduces terrifying new foes, but also brings back a familiar face—Frankenstein’s monster, who plays a pivotal role in the upcoming battle.
Van Helsing is joined by a mysterious new ally, a fierce vampire hunter named Selene, whose motives are unclear. Their uneasy alliance is tested as they fight their way through Lillith’s forces, culminating in breathtaking action sequences. The chemistry between the two adds tension, with Van Helsing questioning whether he can truly trust her.
The trailer builds towards an epic confrontation between Van Helsing and Countess Lillith in the final act, with Dracula’s tomb as the battleground. Lillith’s dark magic and Dracula’s impending resurrection bring a sense of doom, as Van Helsing fights to stop them before it’s too late.
The final shot teases Van Helsing standing alone on a desolate battlefield, facing the rising threat, as the voiceover echoes: “Evil never dies, but neither do we.”
