“John Carter 2: Rise of Barsoom” picks up shortly after John Carter’s triumphant return to Barsoom and his reunion with Princess Dejah Thoris. But peace is short-lived. Deep beneath the red sands, an ancient force long believed to be a myth — the Eternals of Zodanga — begins to awaken. These forgotten beings wield a strange and dangerous form of energy that predates even the Therns, threatening to unravel the delicate balance of power across the planet. As cities fall and alliances fracture, Carter is forced to unite old enemies and unlikely allies, including a rogue Thern with secrets of his own, to prevent the rise of a new empire born from the ruins of the old. Meanwhile, Carter begins to uncover clues about his own mysterious connection to Barsoom — and why he may have been chosen by the planet all along. John Carter 2 promises a sweeping sci-fi adventure filled with war, ancient prophecy, and a deeper exploration of Barsoom’s hidden history — where the fate of two worlds may once again rest in the hands of one Earth-born warrior.
