Beasts of No Nation 2 (2025) continues the heart-wrenching and brutal tale of Agu (Abraham Attah), the former child soldier who fought for survival in a war-torn African nation. Set several years after the events of the first film, Agu is now a young adult struggling to rebuild his life in a society still plagued by violence, corruption, and exploitation. While trying to leave the horrors of his past behind, he is drawn back into the chaos as a new uprising forces him to confront the trauma and darkness that still haunt him.
The trailer opens with gripping, atmospheric visuals of a country on the brink of collapse. Agu is shown attempting to find peace, but his past refuses to let go as he is once again forced to pick up arms. Flashbacks of his time under the brutal Commandant (Idris Elba) resurface, intercut with scenes of intense battle and emotional turmoil.
Directed once again by Cary Joji Fukunaga, the film promises to deliver the same harrowing intensity of its predecessor while delving deeper into the psychological scars of war. With a rumored budget of $40-50 million, Beasts of No Nation 2 offers a raw and powerful continuation of Aguโs story, highlighting the endless cycle of conflict and the personal toll it takes on those caught in the crossfire. Set to release on Netflix in 2025, this sequel is expected to be another haunting portrayal of survival and resilience.
