💄🕶️ Atomic Blonde 2: Velvet Requiem (2026): The Cold War is over. But she never thawed.

"The Cold War thawed. But some operatives stay frozen."

Atomic Blonde 2 returns to the rain-slicked neon of European espionage, but this time, the shadows run deeper — and so does she.

It’s 1994. Berlin is no longer divided, but the world hasn’t grown safer — just smarter at hiding its knives. Lorraine Broughton (Charlize Theron), once MI6’s most lethal secret, now operates in liminal spaces: no flags, no orders, no rules. She’s been off the grid for years, a ghost whispered about in stolen cables and vodka-soaked confessions.

But when a former ally is assassinated in Bucharest — in a style only she once used — Lorraine is pulled back into a tangled web of double agents, dead languages, and digital warfare. A list is missing. A name has resurfaced. And a woman she once loved… might still be alive.

Bucharest becomes a city of illusions: Cold War relics, rising tech empires, and a new breed of spy who doesn’t bleed loyalty, only profit. Lorraine must navigate it all while confronting her own unraveling psyche — haunted by every body she left behind and every identity she buried along the way.

Velvet Requiem is colder, sadder, and sharper than its predecessor. It doesn’t explode. It smolders. Stylish, brutal, and laced with melancholy, it’s not just about who survives — but what parts of them are left.
