Peppermint (2025): Vengeance was only the beginning—now justice has a name.

This time, it’s not about revenge—it’s about stopping the cycle before it begins again.

Peppermint (2025) marks the explosive return of Riley North, the vigilante mother-turned-legend who took justice into her own hands. Years after dismantling the cartel responsible for her family’s death, Riley has disappeared from the public eye—presumed dead by the authorities, and feared by the underworld. But when a new wave of brutal killings targets women and children in the very communities Riley once defended, whispers of “The Ghost of Peppermint” begin to surface.

Reluctantly pulled back into the fight, Riley uncovers a powerful trafficking network protected by corrupt politicians and military contractors. The system that failed her before is now deadlier, more sophisticated—and determined to silence her for good. But this time, Riley’s war isn’t about revenge. It’s about protecting those who can’t fight back.

Directed by Karyn Kusama (Destroyer), Peppermint (2025) is a lean, gritty sequel that swaps large-scale spectacle for grounded emotional intensity and brutal close-quarters action. Jennifer Garner returns in a role she now fully owns, delivering a raw, relentless performance that blends resilience with righteous fury. Her mission is no longer personal—it’s a crusade.

With a darker tone and stronger themes of systemic failure, Peppermint evolves from a vengeance tale into a survival saga of a woman who refuses to let the world forget what justice looks like when the courts fail and the streets fall silent.
