He buried the blade. But the war never ended
Ninja: Shadow of a Tear 2 (2026) slashes its way back into the cinematic arena with a vengeance sharper than ever. The sequel to the cult martial arts hit brings back Scott Adkins as Casey Bowman—deadlier, darker, and driven by a vow of blood. Years have passed since he avenged his wife's murder, but the shadows of violence never truly vanish. Especially when you're the one they still fear.
Now living in self-exile deep in the mountains of Japan, Casey has traded the sword for silence. But peace is a fragile illusion—and it shatters when a brutal ninja clan resurfaces, wiping out dojos across Southeast Asia. When his old master's son is assassinated, and a coded message from a dying warrior reaches him, Casey realizes the truth: an ancient scroll he once buried still lives… and someone wants its secret.
To stop a new war from erupting in the ninja underworld, Casey must descend into the global black market of assassins, mercenaries, and weaponized mysticism. From the neon backstreets of Bangkok to the misty ruins of Myanmar, the sequel escalates the scope while doubling down on its roots—tight, brutal choreography and raw emotional stakes.
Directed once again by Isaac Florentine, Ninja: Shadow of a Tear 2 blends high-impact fight sequences with a gritty revenge narrative, bringing fans the return of true, no-wire martial arts. And as Casey faces not just his enemies—but what he’s become—he must choose: remain a shadow… or step into the fire once more.
