The earth trembles once more. The first official trailer for San Andreas 2 has just dropped, and Dwayne Johnson returns as Ray Gaines, the fearless rescue pilot, alongside Alexandra Daddario, reprising her role as Blake Gaines, his daughter, in a heart-pounding sequel that takes the disaster to an even more dangerous level.

Directed by Brad Peyton (San Andreas, Rampage), San Andreas 2 picks up years after the catastrophic earthquake that rocked California to its core. Ray and Blake have rebuilt their lives, but when a new, even more catastrophic seismic event strikes, they must navigate a world on the brink of total collapse. As earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions ravage the West Coast, Ray and Blake race against time to save their family and help those still trapped in the destruction.

The teaser opens with a breathtaking aerial view of California, with the peaceful landscape suddenly shaking violently. Ray Gaines (Johnson) is seen in his helicopter, watching as an enormous fault line cracks open beneath the ground. His voice is calm but filled with urgency: “It’s not just an earthquake this time… it’s the end of everything we know.”

Key moments from the trailer include:

• Ray and Blake teaming up once again, using their combined s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s and knowledge of disaster zones to navigate through the wreckage and save survivors from the chaos

• A series of massive, earth-shattering earthquakes that rip through California, causing entire cities to collapse into the ocean, with buildings falling and highways breaking apart in real-time action sequences

• A thrilling moment where Blake must work to save her own family, as Ray leads a team of rescue workers on a daring mission to stop a massive tsunami from destroying coastal cities

• Ray’s fight against time as he battles both natural and human threats, using his expertise to outmaneuver collapsing structures and deadly aftershocks

• A race against a volcanic eruption in the heart of California, where Ray and Blake must navigate a city covered in ash, while lava begins to consume the landscape

• Blake’s evolution as a strong, capable woman, no longer just a helpless victim, but an active, determined force working alongside her father to save thousands of lives

• Ray’s emotional conflict, as he struggles with the choices between saving his family and his duty to protect others, culminating in a heart-stopping sacrifice

• The final, jaw-dropping moment where the team faces the ultimate survival challenge: a crumbling dam and the threat of an inland flood that could wipe out the remaining survivors

The film promises to bring the same heart-racing action, stunning visuals, and emotional depth that made San Andreas a hit, but with even bigger disasters and higher stakes. Johnson’s return as Ray Gaines adds the necessary toughness and leadership, while Daddario’s Blake has become a warrior in her own right.

Social media is already lighting up with excitement, with hashtags like #SanAndreas2, #DwayneJohnsonReturns, and #EarthquakeChaos trending across platforms worldwide.

San Andreas 2 is set to hit theaters on May 15, 2026, with a global IMAX release for the most immersive disaster experience.
