Disaster strikes again—at least on screen. A jaw-dropping fan-made concept trailer for San Andreas 2 has taken the internet by storm, imagining Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson reprising his role as heroic rescue pilot Ray Gaines in a bigger, bolder, and even more destructive sequel to the 2015 box office hit.
Titled San Andreas 2: Aftershock, the concept trailer opens with a voiceover from Johnson: “We thought the worst was over. We were wrong.” Set several years after the catastrophic events of the first film, the trailer reveals a world still recovering—until a new seismic threat emerges along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, triggering an unprecedented chain of mega-quakes along the entire West Coast.
The trailer teases large-scale devastation across Seattle, Portland, and Vancouver, with skyscrapers collapsing, tsunami waves ripping through coastal cities, and the sky lit up by exploding power grids. Johnson’s character, now working for an elite global disaster response unit, is pulled back into action when his daughter (played by Alexandra Daddario, reprising her role) goes missing during a scientific mission to study tectonic shifts.
This time, the threat is not just one quake—but a “seismic domino effect” that could collapse the entire Pacific Rim.
With a thunderous orchestral score and high-octane visuals, the fan trailer showcases Johnson leaping from helicopters, piloting experimental rescue aircraft, and even navigating underwater wreckage as entire cities sink into the sea. A dramatic new character, a rogue seismologist played in concept by Oscar Isaac, warns: “We’re not just running out of time… we’re running out of land.”
Though unofficial, the trailer’s sleek editing and massive scale have fans demanding a real sequel. Hashtags like #SanAndreas2, #Aftershock, and #RockTheRescue began trending shortly after its release.
While Warner Bros. has not confirmed an actual San Andreas 2 in development, this concept has reignited excitement for the franchise—and for more epic, disaster-fueled storytelling with The Rock front and center.
The earth is shifting. The fight for survival has just begun.
