Nearly two decades after the 2005 Doom film, there’s speculation that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson may be returning for a sequel, tentatively titled Doom 2: Hell Unleashed. While no official confirmation has been made, industry insiders suggest Universal Pictures is looking to revive the franchise with a fresh, action-packed approach that could see Johnson reprising his role—this time as the protagonist rather than the villain.

Unlike the first Doom film, which deviated from the game’s demonic origins in favor of a sci-fi horror angle, Doom 2: Hell Unleashed is rumored to embrace the hellish chaos fans of the game series expect. Sources indicate that the sequel will take inspiration from Doom Eternal, featuring interdimensional warfare, a deeper connection to Hell, and large-scale demon battles.

The plot is said to follow a lone Marine—possibly a new iteration of the Doom Slayer—who must fight his way through an overrun UAC research facility on Phobos after an experiment with teleportation technology unleashes demonic horrors. The film may also explore the origins of the Doom Slayer legend, potentially hinting at a larger, universe-spanning conflict.
