San Andreas 2: Replica (2026) – Dwayne Johnson | Carla Gugino | Alexandra Daddario | Scott Eastwood

Just watched the trailer for San Andreas 2: Replica and wow… if you thought the first movie had you clinging to your seat, this sequel looks like it’s about to rip the armrests clean off. Dwayne Johnson is back as rescue pilot Ray Gaines, but this time the disaster isn’t just another earthquake—it’s something far more terrifying.

The trailer opens with a chilling voiceover: “The earth remembers… and it always repeats.” Immediately we’re pulled into scenes of cities crumbling, fault lines splitting open, and aftershocks tearing through places that were supposed to be “safe zones.” It’s not just San Francisco this time—the devastation is global. Whole skylines collapse, bridges twist apart, and we even see massive tsunamis forming like the planet itself is fighting back.

Dwayne Johnson is, of course, in full heroic mode. Flying helicopters through collapsing skyscrapers, leaping onto unstable ground, and refusing to give up on anyone. Carla Gugino and Alexandra Daddario return, but now their characters are seasoned survivors, facing the nightmare with both fear and determination. Scott Eastwood joins the cast as a scientist who warns that the quakes aren’t random—they’re part of a larger “replica pattern” repeating across the world. The stakes feel bigger, deadlier, and more personal.

The action sequences teased are jaw-dropping: Johnson navigating a rescue through a collapsing dam, Daddario sprinting across a shaking suspension bridge as it falls apart piece by piece, and one unforgettable shot of Los Angeles swallowed by fire and flood at the same time. The scale makes the first San Andreas look almost small in comparison.

But it’s not just spectacle. There are emotional beats too—family, sacrifice, and resilience. There’s a powerful moment where Johnson looks at his family and says, “We’ve done this once. We’ll do it again. Together.” It hits right in the heart, reminding us why disaster movies work when done right: it’s not about destruction, it’s about survival and love against impossible odds.

By the final seconds, when the ground literally caves in beneath an entire city block and Johnson launches into the chaos screaming his family’s names, the trailer leaves you breathless.
