The battle for justice has only just begun. The first official trailer for Redemption 2 has just dropped, and Jason Statham returns to his role as Frank Adkins, a former soldier turned mercenary, in a brutal and relentless sequel filled with high-octane action, personal vendettas, and unexpected alliances.
Directed by Guy Ritchie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Gentleman), Redemption 2 picks up where the first film left off. After narrowly surviving his last mission, Frank Adkins finds himself once again dragged back into the violent underworld he tried to leave behind. This time, he is forced to confront his past sins and protect the people he loves from a new and deadly enemy—a shadowy organization seeking vengeance for an old betrayal.
The teaser opens with Frank Adkins (Statham) standing in a dimly lit alley, his back against the wall as gunfire erupts around him. His face, hardened by years of violence, reveals a glimpse of the man he once was, a warrior searching for a reason to fight. His voice rings out, calm yet filled with quiet rage: “I’ve fought my battles, but now it’s time to settle the score.”
