After years of fan demand, Colombiana 2 is officially in production, with Zoe Saldaña back as the lethal assassin Cataleya Restrepo—and this time, the stakes are even more personal.

What We Know So Far:

• Release Window: Late 2025 (likely November, following the original’s success).
• Director: Olivier Megaton (Taken 2, Transporter 3) returns, confirming a grittier, more tactical approach.
• New Villain: Rumor has it Pedro Pascal is in talks to play a ruthless cartel leader with ties to Cataleya’s past.
• Plot: Cataleya, now living under a new identity, is forced out of hiding when a shadowy syndicate targets her last surviving family. Expect prison breaks, high-speed chases in Cartagena, and brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Behind the Scenes:

• Bigger Action: Saldaña trained in knife combat and tactical driving for months.
• Surprise Cameo? A leaked set photo suggests a major Latin action star (possibly Gina Carano or Oscar Isaac) may appear.
• Real Locations: Filming spans Colombia, Mexico, and Marseille, ensuring authentic backdrops.

Why This Matters:

The original Colombiana became a cult hit for its unapologetic female-led action, and the sequel promises even more intensity—think John Wick meets La Femme Nikita with a Latin flare.

Final Word: If you loved Cataleya’s ruthless vengeance in 2011, Colombiana 2 will be 2025’s must-see action thriller. Stay tuned for the first trailer—expected by early next year.
