As of my last update in October 2023, The Great Wall 2 (2025) hasn’t been released yet, so I can’t offer a review based on its actual content. However, I can imagine some elements that might be in line with what fans of the original The Great Wall (2016) might expect, especially with its large-scale action, visual spectacle, and blending of Chinese history and mythology with fantasy elements.

Assuming the sequel picks up where the original left off, we might see the return of fantastical creatures, a focus on defending the Great Wall from monstrous invaders, and larger-than-life battles. With the increasing interest in global co-productions, The Great Wall 2 could continue to expand its international appeal, possibly integrating new characters or deeper backstories for those who survived the first film.

If the film aims for a deeper exploration of the mythology introduced in the original movie, we could also see a richer exploration of the “mystical” forces behind the wall and how they interact with the human defenders. Maybe it would delve into the political implications of the Wall’s protection or shift focus to new heroes from different parts of the world.

I imagine it would also need to balance the epic action with character development, something that the first film struggled with a bit. If they manage that, it could be a more compelling experience.
