In The Great Wall 2 (2025) – Full Teaser Trailer, Matt Damon returns as William Garin, the skilled mercenary who previously helped defend China’s Great Wall from a monstrous invasion. This time, the stakes are even higher as the threat is not only from the Taotie but something far more ancient and powerful, lurking beneath the surface.

The teaser begins with sweeping, majestic shots of the Great Wall, now reinforced and more formidable than ever. However, peace is short-lived. The camera zooms in on Garin, now a seasoned warrior, standing with Commander Lin Mae (Jing Tian), who has risen in rank since the first film. Willem Dafoe’s character, Ballard, presumed dead, shockingly reappears in a brief, cryptic moment, sparking more questions than answers.

As eerie winds blow across the desert, we see the ground tremble, hinting at a new and far more dangerous enemy. A chilling voiceover from Ballard hints at what’s to come: “We’ve been fighting the wrong war. The real enemy was never above ground.” The trailer cuts to scenes of chaos as soldiers of the Nameless Order are attacked not only from outside but from within—massive, serpentine creatures burrow through the earth, breaching the once impenetrable wall. The trailer shifts to Garin, Lin Mae, and a new character played by John Boyega, as they embark on a perilous mission to an ancient, forgotten city, deep underground. This lost city, built to contain the creatures, holds the key to defeating them. The teaser shows intense battles, showcasing the monstrous beasts and the crumbling defenses as the Nameless Order fights for survival. The tension builds to a final shot of Garin, face-to-face with an enormous, terrifyingly intelligent creature—far more advanced than the Taotie—and a final voiceover warning: “The war for the Great Wall was only the beginning.”
