The 2024 teaser for Red Notice 2, starring Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, gives fans a first look at the thrilling sequel to the 2021 action-comedy Red Notice. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, this installment reunites the trio of witty con artist Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds), seductive and cunning Sarah Black/The Bishop (Gal Gadot), and a reluctant but determined FBI agent John Hartley (Dwayne Johnson) in a high-stakes heist adventure that promises more laughs, action, and plot twists.
The teaser opens with a brief recap of the last movie’s events, hinting at the uneasy alliance formed between Booth, Black, and Hartley after their shared betrayal and unlikely partnership. It’s clear they’ve since become the world’s most wanted team of thieves, drawing global attention and notoriety. Now, they’re back on the radar of multiple international law enforcement agencies and powerful adversaries.
The plot appears to revolve around a mythical artifact, rumored to be part of an ancient treasure trove hidden deep within a secure vault in Europe. A coded message surfaces, hinting at the artifact’s existence, sparking interest from treasure hunters worldwide. Booth and Black, each with their own motives, team up once more—although neither seems fully trustworthy of the other. Meanwhile, Hartley, who had abandoned his law enforcement background to join them, is now rethinking his choices, adding tension to their dynamic.
The teaser provides a glimpse of thrilling action scenes, including an elaborate museum break-in, a narrow escape down a snowy mountain, and a chase sequence through a densely packed European market. The comedy flair that Reynolds brings is prevalent, especially in scenes showing Booth’s tendency to crack jokes even in life-threatening situations. His playful banter with Black and Hartley keeps the mood light, balancing the tension of their increasingly dangerous quest.
In a dramatic twist, the teaser hints at the emergence of a new villain—an enigmatic figure known only as “The Baron,” who has his own network of skilled thieves and mercenaries. The Baron’s motivation? To claim the artifact and cement his power in the black market. The closing moments of the teaser show the Baron and his team cornering Booth, Black, and Hartley, with intense standoffs and cleverly choreographed fight scenes setting the stage for their rivalry.
Hints in the teaser also suggest complex double-crosses among the main trio. Black’s character appears to have her own secret agenda, with subtle shots suggesting she may betray the group again to further her ambitions. This layered mix of trust, betrayal, and adrenaline-fueled action looks set to keep audiences guessing.
Red Notice 2 appears primed to deliver a bigger, bolder heist adventure with the same mix of humor and high-octane stunts that made the first film a hit. Fans can expect another wild ride filled with international intrigue, laugh-out-loud moments, and heart-stopping action.
