The war is far from over. The first official trailer for Troy 2 has just dropped, and Chris Hemsworth takes on the role of Hector’s son, leading a new generation into the heart of war in this explosive continuation of the legendary story. After the fall of Troy, a new chapter begins as the consequences of the ancient war echo across the centuries, and a new battle for honor, vengeance, and power unfolds.
Directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven), Troy 2 (2025) picks up after the fall of the mighty city of Troy, with Aeneas (played by Chris Hemsworth) inheriting the mantle of leadership. As the son of Hector, he must now navigate the aftermath of the Trojan War, facing political intrigue, betrayal, and the reemergence of old enemies. With the gods of Olympus watching from afar, Aeneas must decide whether to rebuild his people or lead them into another brutal conflict.
The teaser opens with Aeneas (Hemsworth) standing at the ruins of Troy, the sun setting behind him. His face is etched with both sorrow and determination as he speaks softly, reflecting on his father’s legacy: “Troy may have fallen, but our honor will not. The gods will see to that.”
