Central Intelligence 2 (2025) – Bigger Secrets, Bigger Laughs, and Even Bigger Biceps

In a world of spies and lies, true friendship is the ultimate mission.

“Central Intelligence 2 (2025)” blasts back onto the big screen, bringing high-stakes spy antics and side-splitting comedy in a sequel that’s bigger, louder, and funnier than ever. Directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, the film reunites the unstoppable duo of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, proving lightning can indeed strike twice.

A few years after saving the world (and nearly killing each other in the process), Calvin Joyner (Kevin Hart) has settled into a quiet suburban life as a family man. Meanwhile, Bob Stone (Dwayne Johnson), now a top CIA operative, has gone fully off the grid — until he crashes back into Calvin’s life with an urgent new mission: a rogue AI weapon called “Ghost Protocol” has been stolen, and only Bob trusts Calvin to help retrieve it.

Dragged into an international conspiracy spanning Hong Kong, Berlin, and Dubai, Calvin finds himself once again dodging bullets, leaping from exploding buildings, and hanging off helicopters — all while insisting he’s “just a normal guy.” The film’s action sequences are hilariously over-the-top, featuring everything from high-speed tuk-tuk chases to a showdown inside a shark-infested aquarium.

“Central Intelligence 2” thrives on the chemistry between Johnson and Hart. Their comedic banter is sharper than ever, with Bob’s over-the-top confidence and Calvin’s panicked sarcasm creating pure comedic gold. Yet beneath the laughs, the film explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and learning to embrace your own unique strengths.
