Christian Gudegast’s action-packed heist movie is getting a sequel with Den of Thieves 2: Pantera. There’s already a lot of information about the return of Gerard Butler’s Big Nick and O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s Donnie Wilson. The original Den of Thieves (2018) received mixed reviews but grossed $80 million on a relatively small budget and has gained a following over the years. Now, the debut of the sequel, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, is imminent.
Den of Thieves was praised for its Keyser Söze-like twist, where Butler’s Big Nick discovered that O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s Donnie wasn’t a reluctant participant in the heist but the mastermind behind it all. Den of Thieves 2: Pantera will continue the story, with Big Nick traveling to Europe to finally bring Donnie to justice.

Den of Thieves 2: Story
The plot for Den of Thieves 2: Pantera has been shared, giving a clear idea of what to expect when Big Nick and Donnie Wilson return. According to Briarcliff Entertainment, the story is:
“Big Nick is on the hunt for Donnie Wilson, who has escaped to Europe. While chasing Donnie, Nick gets mixed up with the dangerous Pantera drug cartel. The sequel promises thrilling action and an exciting pursuit as Nick tries to catch Donnie once and for all.”
