In Rise of the Guardians 2: The Eternal Eclipse (2026), the lights of childhood begin to die. One by one, the auroras vanish, the moon dims, and even the Sandman’s golden dreams are swallowed by a creeping blackness. A new cosmic force known only as The Eclipse starts draining power from the Man in the Moon himself, turning belief into something cold and hollow. Jack Frost (Chris Pine), now the unofficial heart of the Guardians, feels his own magic flicker as fear and apathy spread faster than winter.

Quick, breathtaking shots glow across the “trailer”: North’s workshop frozen mid‑motion as toys turn to ash; the Easter Bunny’s tunnels collapsing under a tide of midnight sand; Tooth’s tiny fairies dropping from the sky as children stop caring about lost teeth; Pitch Black (Jude Law) returning in chains of starlight, forced to help the very Guardians he once tried to destroy. Together they chase swirling eclipses across the globe—from sun‑blotted deserts to cities stuck in permanent twilight—seeking the one child whose fading wonder is holding the last shard of moonlight in place.

In the final, goosebump‑raising shot, Jack stands on the edge of a darkened moon, staff dim in his hand, as a colossal ring of shadow closes around Earth. He carves a single, blazing line of ice across the black sky, spelling out a child’s name as laughter breaks the silence—and the screen snaps to black. Early word calls it a visually dazzling, heart‑tugging 9.3/10 family fantasy, deeper, darker, and more magical than the first.
