For fans of epic sci-fi adventures, 2025 brings the highly anticipated return of one of cinema’s most captivating interplanetary heroes—John Carter 2: Gods of Mars. After more than a decade of anticipation following the release of the original John Carter in 2012, Disney has finally given the green light to a sequel that promises to explore the deeper mysteries and awe-inspiring landscapes of Barsoom (Mars).
The first John Carter, directed by Andrew Stanton, was an ambitious adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ iconic novel A Princess of Mars. Though lauded for its groundbreaking visual effects, imaginative world-building, and compelling performances, the film faced a difficult journey at the box office due to marketing struggles and fierce compeтιтion.
Despite this, over the years, it has gained a dedicated fanbase who appreciate its faithful portrayal of Barsoom and its adventurous spirit.
Now, in Gods of Mars, fans can expect an even more immersive experience as John Carter ventures further into the unknown, uncovering ancient secrets and facing new, formidable challenges on the red planet.
The sequel promises to deliver the action, exploration, and otherworldly drama that made the first film so memorable while diving deeper into the mythology and intrigue of Mars.
