Fans of the disaster genre can look forward to the release of Greenland 2: Migration, which premieres in theaters on January 9. The sequel continues the story of John Garrity, portrayed by Gerard Butler, as his family leaves their underground shelter in search of a new home following the devastation caused by a comet named Clarke.
The original film, released in 2020, introduced audiences to the chaotic journey of the Garrity family as they sought refuge from the comet’s impact. The sequel, co-written by Chris Sparling and Mitchell LaFortune, expands on this narrative, exploring their quest for stability amid ongoing threats.
Director Ric Roman Waugh clarified that the comet's name was not inspired by the renowned science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, but was instead a creative nod to the naming conventions of hurricanes. Waugh's commentary highlights the relatable nature of the characters, emphasizing that they mirror everyday people facing extraordinary circumstances.
