It has been almost seven years since the release of the first “Den of Thieves.” At the time, the film was seen as a surprise success, earning $80 million at the global box office. Not too shabby for a film that only cost a reported $30 million. Now, years later, Lionsgate is hoping the sequel can do even better.

As seen in the trailer for “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera,” the film serves as a sequel to the original film and continues the story. The film follows Big Nick (Gerard Butler) as he continues his hunt for Donnie (O’Shea Jackson, Jr.) in Europe. However, when he finds Donnie, the two decide to team up for what could be one of the biggest diamond heists ever.
The new film stars Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson, Jr. ‘Pantera’ is written and directed by Christian Gudegast. The filmmaker wrote and directed the first “Den of Thieves” film and wrote “London Has Fallen.” So, clearly, he has a good relationship with Butler.
“Den of Thieves: Pantera” is set to arrive in theaters on January 10, 2025. You can watch the new trailer below.
Here’s the synopsis:
Gerard Butler [Plane, Has Fallen series] and O’Shea Jackson Jr. [Straight Out of Compton, Godzilla: King of the Monsters] return in the sequel to 2018’s action-heist hit Den of Thieves.
