Back in 2018, Rampage hit theaters as a high-octane monster movie based on the classic arcade game of the same name. Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the film followed the story of Davis Okoye, a primatologist who shared an unbreakable bond with George, an albino gorilla that was genetically altered to grow to massive proportions. Alongside George, two other monstrous creatures—a mutated wolf and a giant crocodile—wreaked havoc across Chicago in a battle for survival.
Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, Rampage became a box office success, grossing over $428 million worldwide. This financial win led to speculation about a sequel—so is Rampage 2 happening in 2025? Here’s everything we know (and don’t know) so far.
Is Rampage 2 Officially Confirmed?
As of now, Warner Bros. has not officially confirmed a sequel to Rampage. However, rumors have been circulating for years about the possibility of a follow-up film.
In a 2022 interview, producer Hiram Garcia (who frequently collaborates with Dwayne Johnson) was asked about a potential sequel. He revealed that while discussions had taken place, Johnson’s busy schedule and desire to focus on new projects had prevented the sequel from moving forward.
That said, Hollywood loves a franchise, and given Rampage’s financial success, there’s always a chance that Warner Bros. and Johnson may return to the giant monster spectacle.
What Could Rampage 2 Be About?
If Rampage 2 happens, it would likely explore:
1. A New Monster Threat
At the end of Rampage, George helped defeat the other mutated creatures, saving Chicago. However, the technology that caused the mutations could still be out there. A new rogue experiment or secret military project could create even bigger, deadlier monsters—perhaps even more iconic creatures from the original arcade game.
2. A Global Disaster
While the first film focused on a city-wide catastrophe, a sequel could raise the stakes. Imagine giant monsters attacking multiple cities or even an alien twist, where extraterrestrial forces manipulate the genetic mutations for their own purpose.
3. The Return of Davis and George
Dwayne Johnson’s Davis Okoye and George’s close relationship was the heart of Rampage. If a sequel happens, we’d likely see their bond tested once again—perhaps George would need to defend the world from an even greater danger.
Will Dwayne Johnson Return?
The biggest factor in Rampage 2 moving forward is Dwayne Johnson’s availability. Since Rampage, he has starred in major franchises such as Jungle Cruise, Red Notice, and Black Adam. He also has upcoming projects like Moana 2 and a Fast & Furious spin-off.
However, given his love for big-budget action films, it wouldn’t be surprising if Johnson eventually decides to return to the Rampage universe—especially if fans demand it.
Final Thoughts: Will Rampage 2 Happen?
Right now, Rampage 2 is not officially in production, but the potential for a sequel is still there. Given the popularity of giant monster movies (Godzilla vs. Kong, Pacific Rim), there’s a strong chance Warner Bros. could revisit the franchise.
If Rampage 2 is announced for a 2025 release, expect bigger monsters, more destruction, and even crazier action sequences than before. Until then, fans will have to wait and see if The Rock will once again step into the world of giant mutant creatures.
