John Carter 2

After years of rumors and fan speculation, John Carter 2 is finally moving forward at Disney. The sci-fi epic is set to reunite Taylor Kitsch as the titular hero and Lynn Collins as the fierce Martian princess Dejah Thoris. This time, the sequel—tentatively titled John Carter 2 —promises to dive even deeper into the rich lore of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom series, exploring new lands and introducing new characters and villains that will challenge John Carter like never before.

The original John Carter movie, released in 2012, was a passion project based on the 1912 novel A Princess of Mars. Despite its immense scale and visual grandeur, the movie struggled at the box office, failing to make a significant splash upon its release. Over the years, however, the film has gained a dedicated fan base and achieved cult status, pushing Disney to reconsider a sequel. With renewed interest in space-based franchises, John Carter 2 is expected to bring even more action, heart, and visual spectacle.

John Carter is called back to Barsoom as the planet faces a new threat that not only endangers its inhabitants but could also impact Earth. Carter, alongside Dejah Thoris, must rally the various factions of Mars to stop the impending invasion led by a mysterious new villain. Early reports suggest that the film will blend high-stakes space battles with personal drama, as Carter struggles to reconcile his dual life on Mars and Earth.
