(2026): A New Breed of Rage Enters the Ring
More than four decades after Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull redefined cinematic storytelling through the rise and fall of Jake LaMotta, Raging Bull 2 emerges in 2026 with a bold and unexpected twist. Starring Dwayne Johnson and John Cena, this spiritual successor reimagines the brutality, isolation, and inner torment of the fight game through the lens of a new generation.
Johnson plays Dominic "The Bull" Romano, a former heavyweight champion whose explosive career was built on raw power and unchecked aggression. But time, fame, and personal demons have left him broken. Haunted by past choices and lost relationships, Romano now faces the most punishing battle of his life—one that has nothing to do with title belts.
John Cena delivers a surprising dramatic turn as Vincent Carbone, a hungry, disciplined fighter rising through the ranks. When fate brings the two men into the same ring—one chasing redemption, the other chasing legacy—the clash becomes more than a fight. It's a reflection of everything the sport gives and takes from the men who live it.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua, Raging Bull 2 is not a remake. It’s a reckoning. Shot in stark black and white with bursts of brutal realism, it pays homage to the original while carving its own path. The film captures the violence of the ring and the vulnerability behind it, reminding audiences that the true opponent often lives within.
With gripping performances and a surprisingly emotional depth, Raging Bull 2 proves that the fire of the original still burns—just in different bodies, with different scars, and a new story to tell.
