The hunter returns… and this time, he’s not alone. In Van Helsing 2: Monster Hunter (2025), Hugh Jackman reprises his legendary role as Gabriel Van Helsing — the cursed warrior sworn to purge the world of monsters. When a dark prophecy reveals the return of an ancient evil even more powerful than Dracula, Van Helsing is forced into an uneasy alliance with a gifted yet unpredictable young huntress, played by Anya Taylor-Joy. Together, they must face creatures born from nightmare — vampires, lycans, and a new terror rising from the ashes of legend.

The trailer opens with a haunting voice whispering: “The night remembers the blood it once drank.” — followed by sweeping shots of fog-drenched castles, burning villages, and the flickering silhouette of Van Helsing stalking his prey through the mist. The camera cuts to Taylor-Joy’s character, training with silver weapons under moonlight, her eyes fierce with vengeance. As ancient runes ignite across the land, the duo sets off to confront a monstrous resurrection that threatens to consume all of Europe.

The visuals are breathtaking — gothic cathedrals collapsing under storm clouds, torchlit caverns filled with winged horrors, and explosive fights against shape-shifting beasts. The chemistry between Jackman’s battle-hardened resolve and Taylor-Joy’s fiery determination ignites the screen. The score builds with a chilling mix of orchestral strings and choral chants, ending with a single bell toll and the sound of Van Helsing loading his crossbow.
