Gerard Butler's Den of Thieves sequel has received its first action-packed trailer.
Released in 2018, the first film starred Butler as Nick 'Big Nick' O'Brien, who led an elite unit of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department determined to derail a planned heist at the Federal Reserve Bank in Los Angeles.
The sequel, officially titled Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, will pick up directly after the events of the first film and follow Big Nick as he pursues Donnie Wilson (O'Shea Jackson Jr), who fled to Europe after orchestrating the Federal Reserve heist.

Donnie is now embroiled in the dangerous world of diamond thieves and the Panther mafia, who are planning a huge heist at the world's largest diamond exchange.
The sequel's new trailer reveals that Nick does manage to track Donnie down, though he tells him that he's "sick of being a hunter" and wants to join the heist.

Elsewhere, Butler will soon reprise his role as Hiccup's father Stoick the Vas in the upcoming live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon.
The film's first trailer was recently released, seeing Hiccup (Mason Thames) learn about his destiny to become a dragon slayer.
"When you carry this axe, you carry all of us with you," says his distant father, the leader of the Isle of Berk.
However, when he comes across an injured dragon named Toothless, Hiccup instead befriends and trains him in the hopes of teaching his village that there is more to the mythical creatures than they thought.
Den of Thieves 2: Pantera arrives in US cinemas on January 10. How to Train Your Dragon's live-action adaptation is due to be released in cinemas on June 13, 2025.
