In Jack the Giant Slayer 2 (2025), Nicholas Hoult returns as Jack, but this time, the stakes are significantly higher, and the giants pose an even greater threat than before. The official trailer opens with a serene view of the kingdom, now flourishing after Jack’s victory over the giants in the first film. However, this tranquility is short-lived when a mysterious figure uncovers the remnants of the beanstalk, using dark magic to resurrect the giant race.

The trailer hints at the emergence of a new, malevolent force — an ancient giant king who has awakened after centuries of slumber. This giant is far more powerful and ruthless than any Jack has encountered before, seeking vengeance for his fallen kin. With the magical ability to control the beanstalks and unleash an army of giants, the giant king declares war on the human kingdom, threatening to annihilate everything in his path.

Now a seasoned warrior, Jack must rise to the challenge once more. The trailer showcases exhilarating action sequences, with Jack teaming up with Isabelle (Eleanor Tomlinson), who now reigns as queen of the kingdom. Together, they must form an uneasy alliance with former enemies, including some surviving giants from the first film, to prevent total destruction.

The trailer also teases new locations, including a hidden world in the clouds where the ancient giant king has his fortress. The action is intense, featuring Jack scaling a colossal beanstalk to infiltrate the giant’s stronghold while engaging in deadly aerial battles. The giants are bigger, more ferocious, and equipped with deadlier weapons than ever before.

The climax of the trailer reveals Jack facing off against the giant king in a one-on-one showdown, with both wielding powerful enchanted weapons. The screen fades to black as Jack delivers a final strike, but the trailer concludes on a cliffhanger with a cryptic line: “This is just the beginning.”
