Van Helsing 2 (2025) brings back Hugh Jackman as the legendary monster hunter Gabriel Van Helsing in a dark and action-packed sequel that delves even deeper into the world of supernatural creatures. After the events of the first film, Van Helsing has continued his mission to rid the world of dark forces, but his newest challenge pushes him to confront an ancient evil more powerful than anything he’s faced before.
The trailer begins with Van Helsing living in seclusion, haunted by memories of the countless monsters he has slain. However, his solitude is short-lived when he is summoned by the Vatican to investigate a series of mysterious deaths across Europe. These killings bear the mark of an ancient vampire clan believed to have been wiped out centuries ago. The clan, led by a sinister new villain known as Countess Lillith (played by a prominent actress), is not only seeking to resurrect Dracula but to plunge the world into eternal darkness.
Van Helsing sets out on a journey that takes him through gothic castles, eerie forests, and forgotten crypts. Along the way, he encounters familiar monsters, including werewolves, undead creatures, and even a resurrected Frankenstein’s monster. However, this time, Van Helsing is not alone. He is joined by a mysterious new ally, a warrior named Selene (played by a new actress), who has her own reasons for hunting Lillith. Their dynamic adds tension, as Van Helsing is unsure if he can trust her fully.
The trailer teases high-stakes action, with Van Helsing wielding a variety of new weapons, from holy relics to advanced steampunk-inspired tech. The film’s atmosphere is thick with suspense as Van Helsing races against time to stop Lillith from resurrecting Dracula. In one chilling scene, the Countess proclaims, “The age of man will fall, and we shall rise again,” setting up a massive final confrontation.
In the climactic moments, the trailer showcases Van Helsing facing off against Lillith and her vampire army in an epic battle of good versus evil. The stakes are higher than ever, with the fate of humanity hanging in the balance. The trailer ends with Van Helsing standing over a darkened battlefield, hinting that this may be his final battle.
