Here’s the official synopsis from Vertical:
Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage reprises his role as Yuri Orlov, the world’s most notorious arms dealer. When Yuri discovers a ruthless mercenary mastermind (Bill Skarsgård) bent on destroying his legacy is building a private army, he is thrust into a blood-soaked and bullet-riddled battle to the death. What begins as a shocking revelation ignites a fierce rivalry fueled by power, ambition, and betrayal.
Alongside Cage and Skarsgård, the film stars Laura Harrier, Sylvia Hoeks and Greg Tarzan Davis. Niccol wrote and directed the sequel, with Philippe Rousselet, Fabrice Gianfermi, Niccol and Cage on board as producers.
Released in 2005, Lord of War followed Yuri’s rise through the international arms trade as his business put him in conflict with law enforcement and damaged his relationships with his family.
Cage starred alongside Ethan Hawke, who played federal agent Jack Valentine; Jared Leto, who played Yuri’s younger brother, Vitaly; and Bridget Moynahan, who played his wife, Ava.
The sequel brings Cage back to the role more than two decades later, with Skarsgård’s Anton introducing a new family conflict into Yuri’s weapons business.
Vertical’s second teaser follows the first preview released November 4. Lords of War arrives in theaters January 22, 2027.
In addition to Lords of War, Cage will soon be starring in Maddenm, which hits Prime Video next week, Best Pancakes in the County, and Fortitude, all of which are currently scheduled (but not confirmed) to be released this year.
