The hellish chaos is far from over. The first official trailer for Doom 2 has just been released, and Dwayne Johnson is back in the role of Sarge, leading a new team of Marines in a brutal, intergalactic fight for survival. This time, the stakes are higher, the enemies more terrifying, and the battlefield even more relentless.
Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak (Doom, Exit Wounds), Doom 2 picks up immediately after the events of the first film, where the UAC (Union Aerospace Corporation) has accidentally unleashed a hellish army of monsters on Mars. With the research facility now a war zone, Sarge and his team must descend deeper into the planet’s depths to confront the very source of the invasion: a powerful, demonic entity that threatens the entire universe.
The teaser opens with Sarge (Johnson) standing at the edge of a burning, wrecked base, staring into the abyss. His voice booms over the deafening silence: “We didn’t come here to survive. We came here to end this.”
Key moments from the trailer include:
-
Sarge and his squad—including new team members Captain Alvarez (played by Tessa Thompson) and Sergeant Owens (played by Idris Elba)—gearing up with high-tech weapons and equipment as they descend deeper into the facility, facing off against the hellish creatures that lurk in every corner
-
A thrilling chase sequence as Sarge and his team are pursued by vicious demons through narrow Martian tunnels, guns blazing and explosions lighting up the darkness
-
The invasion intensifying, as the demon army, led by a terrifying new Hell King, begins to breach into our dimension, creating a rift between Earth and Mars that could lead to global annihilation
-
The squad discovering a horrifying secret within the UAC facility: the creation of a human-demon hybrid that could be the key to ending the war—if they can control it
-
Sarge facing his greatest challenge, battling not just the creatures from hell, but also his own internal demons, as the line between humanity and monstrosity begins to blur
-
A jaw-dropping moment where Sarge takes on an enormous, otherworldly demon in hand-to-hand combat, showcasing his brutal strength and resilience as the creature’s monstrous roar echoes through the base
-
The shocking twist where Captain Alvarez betrays the team, revealing herself as an undercover agent working for the UAC’s twisted experimentation plans, turning the team’s fight against each other
The film promises relentless, pulse-pounding action, over-the-top sci-fi combat, and jaw-dropping visual effects, all while exploring the terrifying depths of the Doom universe. Johnson’s return as the no-nonsense Sarge delivers the perfect blend of toughness, leadership, and emotional weight, while the new additions to the squad add fresh dynamics to the team.
