Over a decade after the first film’s release in 2012, John Carter 2 has been officially confirmed to return to the big screen with the return of familiar cast members, including Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins.

The first film was based on the science fiction novel “A Princess of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and follows the story of John Carter, a former American soldier who is unexpectedly transported to the planet Barsoom (Mars). There, he becomes embroiled in a war between tribes and falls in love with Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins).

While the first film did not achieve the box office success that was hoped for, it did receive critical acclaim and praise from fans for its stunning visuals and impressive special effects.

The plot of the second film has not yet been revealed, but many speculate that John Carter will continue his journey on Barsoom, fighting enemies and protecting those he loves.

Taylor Kitsch will reprise his role as John Carter, Lynn Collins will return as Dejah Thoris, and the supporting cast includes Mark Strong, Ciarán Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, and Willem Dafoe, who are also expected to appear in the new film.
