🪐 Plot Summary

Following the cosmic epic that redefined planetary fantasy, John Carter 2 launches into a deeper mystery at the heart of Barsoom. Earth’s reluctant hero returns when a destructive force awakens beneath the red planet’s surface—a forgotten pantheon of ancient Martian gods, locked away in cryptic temples and bound by oath.

When Dejah Thoris is drawn into visions of Mars’s past, Carter must rally old friends—and uneasy allies—to stop an awakening that threatens to end both worlds. Racing across crimson wastelands, sky‑chariot highways, and the labyrinthine depths of the Therns’ under-temple, Carter must face immortal beings whose wrath shaped the history of Barsoom—and who refuse to die quietly.

🔥 What to Expect
