Van Helsing 2 (2025) sees Hugh Jackman reprising his role as the legendary monster hunter Gabriel Van Helsing. Set years after the original film, Van Helsing has retreated into seclusion following his battle with Dracula. However, a new, far more ancient threat rises, pulling him back into action. This time, he faces Lilith, the queen of the underworld and Dracula’s mother, who has returned to reclaim her dominion over darkness.
Lilith’s resurrection unleashes a wave of terror across Europe, as she gathers an army of supernatural creatures, including werewolves, witches, and the undead. Van Helsing, still haunted by his cursed past and immortality, must confront these horrors while unraveling the mysteries of his own origins. As he embarks on a journey across haunted landscapes, he teams up with new allies, including Anna Valerious’ brother, who has survived his own battle with the vampire curse.
The film delves deeper into Van Helsing’s character, exploring the emotional toll of his endless battle against evil and the personal sacrifices he’s made. The action is intense and gripping, with epic battles set in ancient ruins and dark forests. Lilith, a terrifying and cunning antagonist, presents a more sinister challenge than Dracula, pushing Van Helsing to his limits.
