More than 20 years after the release of The Last Samurai (2003), Tom Cruise is back in armor and ready for battle in the highly anticipated sequel, The Last Samurai 2, set to hit theaters in December 2026. The first official trailer has just dropped—and it’s as breathtaking as it is brutal.
Directed by Edward Zwick, who also helmed the original, the film continues the story of Nathan Algren (Cruise), an American soldier who found honor and redemption among the samurai of 19th-century Japan. But this time, Algren’s journey is darker, more political, and steeped in betrayal.
