Den Of Thieves 2: Pantera - Release Date, Cast, Story & Everything We Know

Summary Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is the sequel to the 2018 sleeper hit and will continue the story of Gerard Butler's Big Nick and O'Shea Jackson Jr.'s Donnie Wilson as they travel to Europe.

Christian Gudegast’s action-packed heist movie is getting a sequel with Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, and there’s already been a great deal revealed about the return of Gerard Butler’s Big Nick and O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s Donnie Wilson. 2018’s Den of Thieves received middling reviews but did manage to gross $80 million on a budget of far less, as well as gaining a following over the years since its release. Now the debut of the sequel, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is imminent.

Den of Thieves drew praise in particular for its Keyser Söze-like twist when Butler’s Big Nick realized that Jack Jr’s Donnie wasn’t the borderline-unwilling participant in a plot to rob the Federal Reserve he first appeared. It was revealed at the end of Den of Thieves that Donnie was, in fact, the mastermind behind the entire heist. Den of Thieves 2: Pantera will pick up after the first movie, with Big Nick traveling to Europe to bring Donnie to justice once and for all.
