John Carter 2, the teaser trailer hints at a grand return to the epic world of Barsoom (Mars), bringing back Taylor Kitsch as the titular hero, John Carter, and Lynn Collins as Princess Dejah Thoris. Set several years after the first film, this sequel dives deeper into the conflicts and mysteries of Barsoom, exploring its ancient secrets and turbulent power struggles.
The trailer opens with a brooding shot of John Carter back on Earth, haunted by visions of Barsoom and the memories of his life there. Desperate to return, he embarks on a quest to unlock the secrets of the amulet that once transported him to Mars. As he studies ancient symbols and strange artifacts, he finally discovers the means to return to Barsoom, with a newfound resolve to protect Dejah and the planet he’s come to love.
Upon his arrival, John quickly realizes that Barsoom is on the brink of collapse. Warring factions, power-hungry warlords, and resource shortages have left the planet more divided than ever. Carter learns that a powerful artifact known as the “Eye of Barsoom” has resurfaced—a relic said to harness the ancient power of Mars and bring balance to its dying world. However, the artifact has also drawn the attention of a ruthless new villain, Prince Sab Than, who believes that controlling the Eye will grant him ultimate power over all of Barsoom’s races.
The trailer builds suspense as Carter and Dejah embark on a treacherous journey across hostile deserts and desolate ruins to find the Eye before Sab Than. Along the way, they encounter bizarre new creatures and form uneasy alliances with rival factions, each driven by their own motives for wanting to protect or control the Eye. Dejah is shown demonstrating her formidable combat skills, fighting alongside Carter and proving herself a vital ally in the quest.
The trailer’s climax teases an epic showdown between Carter and Sab Than in a crumbling temple under the harsh Barsoomian moons. With dramatic visuals and intense battles, John Carter 2 promises a return to the sweeping adventure and Martian landscapes that fans loved, while introducing fresh dangers and delving into the rich lore of Barsoom.
