The Giant Awakens: A New Era of Troll Trouble
In the shadowy depths of Norway's icy waters, something ancient and monstrous stirs. It's not just one troll—it's possibly two or more colossal creatures that are about to wreak havoc on the serene landscapes of Scandinavia. Netflix has dropped the first teaser trailer for Troll 2 , the highly anticipated sequel to the 2022 streaming sensation Troll . Directed once again by Roar Uthaug, the film promises an even grander spectacle, deeper storytelling, and more laughs than its predecessor.
Back to the Fight
Nora (Ine Marie Wilmann), Andreas (Kim Falck), and Captain Kris (Mads Sjøgård Pettersen) are back, ready to face their most perilous challenge yet. This time, they're joined by Sara Khorami as a new ally, adding depth to the ensemble cast. The stakes are higher, the threats more menacing, and the humor sharper. As the original director returns to helm this sequel, there's a palpable sense of excitement among fans who adored the first installment.
A Director's Pride and Ambition
Roar Uthaug, known for his work on films like Cold Prey and Tomb Raider , speaks with pride about the global reception of the original Troll . “I am beyond proud of how audiences around the globe connected with the first Troll film far beyond what we imagined,” he says. For Troll 2 , Uthaug aims to expand the scope, deepen the narrative, and deliver a “troll-sized spectacle like you've never seen before.” His ambition is clear: to build upon the success of the first film while elevating it to new heights.
The Story Unfolds
When a dangerous new troll—or perhaps multiple trolls—awakens, unleashing destruction across Norway, our heroes must enlist new allies and delve into the country's ancient history to find a way to stop the creature(s). Time is running out, and the path of destruction grows wider with each passing moment. Nora, Andreas, and Captain Kris face impossible odds as they fight to save their homeland from falling into darkness. The screenplay, written by Espen Aukan with a story crafted by Uthaug and Aukan, hints at a richer, more layered tale that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
