Den of Thieves 2: Cast, plot, title, and more

Gerard Butler’s Den of Thieves was an enjoyably silly action romp back in 2018 – here’s everything we know about its forthcoming sequel.

The original Den of Thieves was testosterone-fuelled fun that pitted a department of the LA Sheriff’s Department against a group of former Marines robbing the Federal Reserve.

Gerard Butler starred alongside the likes of 50 Cent and O’Shea Jackson Jr., and the resulting film made nearly three times its budget at the global box office.

So it’s no surprise that Den of Thieves is getting its own sequel – here’s everything we know about Part 2.
