Chaos Walking 2 (2026)

The War for New World Begins

Chaos Walking 2 (2026) is the anticipated sequel to the 2021 film Chaos Walking, diving deeper into the intense universe where thoughts are visible and trust is fragile. Directed by Doug Liman (returning to helm the second chapter), the sequel picks up right where the first film left off — with the survival of humanity hanging by a thread.

As New World descends into war, Todd and Viola face impossible choices in a world where every secret is a weapon, and every thought can kill.

 The Story

After defeating Mayor Prentiss in the ruins of Farbranch, Todd Hewitt (Tom Holland) and Viola Eade (Daisy Ridley) hope to rebuild peace between the settlers and the native species, the Spackle. But when a mysterious signal from deep space triggers panic, a faction of humans — known as the Silent Path — emerges, determined to control the Noise and silence all opposition.

Viola is torn between her loyalty to her people and her bond with Todd, who begins to hear a new kind of Noise… one that doesn’t come from within.

Together, they must navigate a shattered world filled with betrayal, psychic warfare, and the looming threat of another alien invasion.
