Following the massive success of the 2018 film “Rampage,” Dwayne Johnson is back in the sequel, “Rampage 2” (2024). The original “Rampage,” directed by Brad Peyton and inspired by the Midway Games video game series, showcased an action-packed story of a primatologist and his giant gorilla ally, George, battling against mutated creatures wreaking havoc on Chicago.

In “Rampage 2,” Johnson reprises his role, continuing the thrilling saga. This time, the stakes are even higher as George, now a hero of epic proportions, faces new and more formidable adversaries. The sequel promises to amplify the explosive action, visual effects, and high-octane thrills that fans loved in the first installment.

Background:
The original “Rampage” was the third collaboration between director Brad Peyton and Dwayne Johnson, following “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” (2012) and “San Andreas” (2015). It was notable for being the final Warner Bros. film financed by Access Entertainment/RatPac-Dune Entertainment, which ended its partnership with the studio amid controversies.

Released on April 13, 2018, “Rampage” earned over $428 million worldwide, praised for its dynamic performances, particularly by Johnson and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, as well as its action sequences and visual effects. However, it faced criticism for its screenplay and pacing.

As anticipation builds for “Rampage 2,” fans can expect an even more thrilling and visually spectacular ride, with Dwayne Johnson leading the charge in another monster-sized adventure!
