A seemingly new trailer for John Carter 2 has been making waves across the internet lately. Naturally, fans are buzzing with curiosity, questioning its authenticity. Additionally, there’s speculation about whether Disney has officially approved a sequel and if Taylor Kitsch will reprise his role in the franchise.
Here’s everything you need to know about the alleged new trailer and the potential development of a second John Carter film.
Is Disney’s John Carter 2 trailer real or fake?
The rumored new John Carter 2 movie trailer featuring Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins is fake and possibly AI-generated.
The clip was uploaded by KH Studio, which is known to post fan-made trailers. The video has already garnered 325,915 views and 3.6K likes, as of writing, leading many fans to speculate about its authenticity. However, it cleverly incorporates clips from the earlier John Carter film, combined with a plethora of AI-driven projects designed for artistic and entertainment value.
KH Studio has made a name for itself with its captivating concept trailers, and this latest compilation footage is no exception. It hints at the idea that the ancient threats John thought were behind him are still very much alive. The struggle for survival on Mars is just beginning for its inhabitants. John Carter stands as one of Disney’s most significant disappointments, and there’s been no approval for a sequel. The original cast will not be reprising their roles either.
Will Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins return for John Carter 2?
As John Carter 2 is unlikely to happen anytime soon, Taylor Kitsch and Lynn Collins will not be returning to reprise their roles. Due to the disappointing performance of John Carter at the box office, it never materialized. With a staggering production budget of approximately $307 million before accounting for tax rebates and marketing expenses, the film fell short, grossing only $281 million globally (via The Wrap).
Walt Disney Co. reportedly revealed that it anticipated a staggering loss of $200 million from the film. In an interview with SlashFilm, Taylor Kitsch said he won’t return for a sequel unless Andrew directs the movie.
