The Great Wall 2 (2025)
The Great Wall (2016), directed by Zhang Yimou, is a visually striking fantasy-action film set during ancient China. Starring Matt Damon, the movie blends Chinese mythology with Hollywood action sensibilities, creating a unique hybrid between historical epic and monster movie.
The story follows William (Matt Damon) and Tovar (Pedro Pascal), two European mercenaries seeking gunpowder in China. They stumble upon the Great Wall and are captured by a secretive military order known as the Nameless Order, who defend the wall from a mysterious threat.
The threat turns out to be an army of monstrous, lizard-like creatures called the Taotie, which emerge every 60 years to ravage humanity. The Nameless Order has trained for decades to fight these creatures, and William finds himself reluctantly joining their battle for survival.
