You can watch the trailer for Greenland here:
Greenland 2 is being filmed in the UK and brings back the three main stars of the original. In front of the camera, they include Gerard Butler and co-star Morena Baccarin (Deadpool), who plays his wife in the film. Behind the camera, action specialist Ric Roman Waugh is back in the director’s chair.
Waugh and Butler are a well-rehearsed team. In addition to Greenland, they recently brought the action thriller Kandahar to the cinema. Before that, they worked together on Angel Has Fallen, the third part of the Has Fallen series. Another reunion awaits us here soon. Waugh is also set to direct Night Has Fallen.
