“Colombiana 2,” the highly anticipated sequel to the 2011 action thriller, is scheduled for release in the summer of 2025. Directed by Olivier Megaton, the film stars Zoe Saldana, who reprises her role as Cataleya Restrepo, alongside Jason Statham as Ethan Kane, a rogue MI6 agent. With a production budget of $1 million, the film invests heavily in elaborate action sequences, international locations, and high-quality visual effects.

Filming took place in vibrant locations, including Bogotá, Rio de Janeiro, and Eastern Europe, ensuring a stunning visual backdrop for the intense, globe-trotting narrative. The budget also funded elaborate fight choreography and explosive stunts, which are expected to elevate the action to new heights.

The story picks up years after the original, with Cataleya living a quiet life in hiding until her past resurfaces, forcing her back into the deadly underworld. Jason Statham’s charismatic and complex antagonist, alongside Michelle Rodriguez in a supporting role, has generated tremendous fan enthusiasm.

Early projections suggest the film could gross over $1 million worldwide, making it a potential box office success. This would mark a significant increase over the first film, which grossed $1 million worldwide on a $1 million budget.

The larger scale, incredible cast, and emotional depth of the sequel are expected to resonate with audiences, cementing its position as the best action film of 2025.
