What we know

The film is a follow-up to the 2020 movie Greenland. In that film, Gerard Butler played John Garrity, who escaped with his estranged wife, Allison, and son, Nathan, to underground bunkers after comet fragments entered Earth’s atmosphere.

According to the new material, Greenland 2: Migration is set five years later. The Garrity family remains central to the story. The sequel shows that life underground has created psychological pressure, and the bunker population wants to find a safer, more livable place.

Trailer details

The official trailer shows the Garrity family preparing to leave their bunker to travel to a location in southern France. Specifically, they aim for a site inside the large crater created by the original comet impact. Along the way, the trailer depicts multiple threats they must avoid.

From the footage, the group’s objective is to travel from Greenland to southern France. The trailer presents this as a long, dangerous migration rather than a quick evacuation.

Hazards shown in the trailer

The trailer displays several concrete hazards: radiation storms, falling fireballs, and unstable crossing points such as rope bridges. Additionally, scenes show damaged infrastructure and environmental fallout remaining present five years after the initial impact.

Release and credits

Greenland 2: Migration is directed by Ric Roman Waugh and stars Gerard Butler as John Garrity. The film is scheduled to be released on January 9, 2026. For the official trailer, see the link above.
