Watch First Trailer:
The Great Wall 2, starring Matt Damon and Jing Tian, is set to hit theaters on November 7, 2025, and its first trailer has already made waves worldwide. Packed with explosive visuals, dramatic new threats, and deeper mythology, the sequel builds on the original’s universe with a much larger scope. The story picks up after the fall of the Tao Tei, as a new enemy rises from beneath the earth—an ancient, intelligent force known as the Sky Maw, capable of turning humans into mind-controlled warriors.
In the trailer, General Lin Mae (Jing Tian) leads a new army fortified with advanced black-powder technology and aerial war gliders. William Garin (Matt Damon) returns, battle-hardened and more deeply invested in the fate of China. The teaser hints at betrayal, ancient secrets buried beneath the Wall, and a terrifying twist: Mae may be psychically connected to the creature they must destroy.
Behind the scenes, The Great Wall 2 was built on a massive $240 million production budget, with an additional $75 million allocated for a global marketing campaign. The film was shot across China, New Zealand, and Morocco, with cutting-edge VFX work completed by top studios in London and Shanghai. The trailer alone cost an estimated $5 million to produce and distribute, featuring high-end CGI and custom scoring.
The marketing strategy proved highly effective—within 48 hours of the trailer’s release, it had over 130 million views across YouTube, Weibo, and TikTok. Social media buzz exploded, especially in China and Southeast Asia, where fans praised the return of Jing Tian and the film’s international scale.
With early projections showing strong pre-sale momentum and global excitement building, The Great Wall 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest cross-cultural blockbusters of 2025. Coming soon—and ready to make history.
