“John Carter 2” (2025) continues the epic saga of the former Confederate captain who once found himself a hero on Mars, known by its inhabitants as Barsoom. Years after the events of the first film, John Carter is finally reunited with his beloved Dejah Thoris, but peace in Helium is short-lived. A mysterious cosmic disturbance threatens the delicate balance of power across Barsoom, awakening ancient forces that had been buried beneath the red sands for millennia. The Therns, thought to have been defeated, have returned with a vengeance, this time forging an alliance with a new enemy from the planet’s dark moons.

As Barsoom plunges into chaos, John Carter finds himself torn between his duty to protect Helium and the need to uncover the truth behind the resurgence of these ancient powers. Dejah Thoris, now Queen of Helium, refuses to be sidelined and leads a coalition of Martian cities, determined to resist the growing shadow that looms over their world. Meanwhile, Tars Tarkas of the Tharks rallies his warriors, but even their combined forces seem powerless against the technological might unleashed by the Therns and their new allies.

The journey takes Carter beyond the known territories of Barsoom, venturing into forbidden lands where lost civilizations hide secrets that could change the fate of the planet. Along the way, he encounters Thuvia, a spirited princess of Ptarth, and Kantos Kan, a loyal Heliumite captain, both of whom become crucial allies in his quest. As Carter delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers the existence of the “Star Forge,” an ancient device capable of reshaping entire worlds, now in the hands of the Therns who plan to enslave Barsoom.

Battles rage across the skies and deserts of Mars, filled with breathtaking aerial duels and ground assaults, as Carter and his allies fight to reclaim their world. Yet, the real battle lies within Carter himself, as he is forced to confront his own past, his lingering guilt, and his role as a reluctant savior of a planet not his own.

In a climactic showdown within the depths of the Star Forge, Carter must make a sacrifice that could either save Barsoom or doom it to eternal servitude. “John Carter 2” is a sweeping space fantasy that blends epic action, political intrigue, and a deeply personal journey, promising a thrilling return to the vivid and untamed world of Mars.
