The stakes are higher, the enemies more ruthless, and the action more intense than ever before. Gerard Butler returns as the tough, morally complex Big Nick O’Brien in the first official trailer for Den of Thieves 3 (2025)—the third and final chapter of the Den of Thieves franchise that will redefine the heist genre once again.

Directed by Christian Gudegast, Den of Thieves 3: Last Stand picks up after the explosive events of Den of Thieves 2 (2022). With the world’s most sophisticated heist crew now fractured, Nick O’Brien is pulled back into the game when a new criminal mastermind, Lukas Volkov (played by Mads Mikkelsen), threatens to pull off a billion-dollar heist that could cripple global markets.

The trailer opens with Big Nick sitting in his dimly lit office, the weight of past mistakes hanging heavy on his shoulders. He takes a deep breath, exhaling as a new case file slams down in front of him. “The game’s changed. And I’m going in.” Nick says, ready for a final showdown.

Key moments from the trailer:

• A heart-pounding car chase through Los Angeles, with Nick and his crew barely escaping a hail of bullets

• Tense stand-offs inside vaults and high-tech safes, with a clever mix of old-school tactics and cutting-edge technology

• A flashback showing Nick’s early days as a cop, explaining his deep personal stakes in this last job

• A high-speed chase on foot, leading to an epic confrontation in the middle of a chaotic, collapsing skyscraper

The film promises the same gritty realism and high-octane suspense that fans loved in the previous films, while diving deeper into the characters’ motivations and complex moral choices.

Fans have already gone wild on social media, with hashtags like #DenOfThieves3, #BigNickReturns, and #HeistOfALifetime taking over platforms within hours.

Den of Thieves 3: Last Stand is scheduled to hit theaters on December 18, 2025.

One final job. One final chance. And one last betrayal. 💣💰
