Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is rumored to be returning for a follow-up to the 2005 Doom movie, tentatively named Doom 2: Hell Unleashed, almost twenty years after the first movie’s release. Although there has been no official confirmation, industry insiders speculate that Universal Pictures is trying to bring the franchise back with a new, action-packed strategy that might see Johnson return, but this time as the hero instead of the antagonist.

Unlike the first Doom film, which deviated from the game’s demonic origins in favor of a sci-fi horror angle, Doom 2: Hell Unleashed is rumored to embrace the hellish chaos fans of the game series expect. Sources indicate that the sequel will take inspiration from Doom Eternal, featuring interdimensional warfare, a deeper connection to Hell, and large-scale demon battles.

The plot is said to follow a lone Marine—possibly a new iteration of the Doom Slayer—who must fight his way through an overrun UAC research facility on Phobos after an experiment with teleportation technology unleashes demonic horrors. The film may also explore the origins of the Doom Slayer legend, potentially hinting at a larger, universe-spanning conflict.
