Skyscraper 2 (2025) scales new heights as a speculative sequel to the 2018 action thriller, directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber and teased for a hypothetical July 2025 release from Universal Pictures. Dwayne Johnson reprises Will Sawyer, the ex-FBI amputee turned security expert, now tasked with safeguarding a revolutionary floating city—Skyhaven—off Dubai’s coast. When eco-terrorists (led by Tom Hardy, imagined) seize the solar-powered metropolis, rigging it to crash into the Persian Gulf, Sawyer must climb, leap, and duct-tape his way through a maze of tilting towers to save his family (Neve Campbell returns as Sarah) and thousands aboard. The teaser flashes vertigo-inducing stakes: a man-made island unmoored, plunging into chaos.

Unconfirmed—Skyscraper’s break-even run (Box Office Mojo) and Johnson’s packed slate (Moana 2, December 2025) leave it dormant (Collider, no updates post-2018)—this assumes fan demand and Johnson’s draw spark a revival. Expect action: Sawyer swinging from a solar array 1,000 feet up, a chopper crash into a glass atrium, and a finale freefall with a parachute made from Skyhaven’s fabric skin. Johnson’s brawny grit shines, Hardy’s unhinged zeal (if cast) electrifies, and Campbell’s steely resolve anchors the family core. The visuals dazzle—futuristic spires swaying over turquoise waves—all backed by a score blending Die Hard-esque horns with Arabic strings. Skyscraper 2 (2025) teases a thrilling, sky-high encore, a Rock-led rescue that could soar—if Universal builds it.

Rating: (9/10)

A towering, pulse-pounding continuation that delivers vertigo thrills, Johnson’s heroics, and a city worth saving.
