Battleship 2 (2025) reignites the explosive naval warfare saga with a star-studded cast featuring Dwayne Johnson as Admiral Jack Carter, Jason Statham as Commander Marcus Steele, and Gal Gadot as Dr. Elena Ramirez. A decade after Earth’s first alien encounter, humanity believes the war is over. However, a massive alien mothership, hidden beneath the ocean, awakens with a terrifying new plan to terraform Earth and wipe out humanity.
Admiral Carter commands the world’s most advanced naval fleet, uniting global forces to counter the alien threat. Commander Steele, a rogue tactical expert, is recruited for his unconventional combat strategies, while Dr. Ramirez works tirelessly to decode alien technology. The team discovers that the mothership is deploying devices across the oceans to alter Earth’s atmosphere. To prevent global extinction, Carter leads a massive naval assault while Steele and Ramirez infiltrate the mothership to destroy its power core.
In a climactic battle, Steele is severely injured, forcing Admiral Carter to make the ultimate sacrifice by detonating the alien core from within, obliterating the mothership. Earth is saved, but the cost is high. In a post-credits scene, a distant alien planet receives Earth’s defensive signal, hinting at an even greater threat on the horizon.
