Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025)

“Den of Thieves: Pantera” is the long-awaited sequel to the 2018 crime thriller, bringing back Gerard Butler as the relentless detective Big Nick O’Brien. This new chapter takes the high-stakes action across the Atlantic to Europe, where Nick is closing in on his old adversary, Donnie Wilson. Set against the backdrop of international crime, the story dives deep into the dangerous world of diamond thieves and the infamous Panther mafia.

Directed by Christian Gudegast, who also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Paul T. Scheuring, the film promises to deliver the same gritty intensity and elaborate heist sequences that made the original a hit. The plot follows Big Nick as he navigates the treacherous criminal underworld of Europe, determined to track down Donnie, who has become entangled in the Panther mafia’s latest plan — an audacious heist targeting the world’s largest diamond exchange.

Gerard Butler reprises his role as Nicholas ‘Big Nick’ O’Brien, while O’Shea Jackson Jr. returns as Donnie Wilson, now operating under the alias ‘Jean-Jacques.’ The cast also features Evin Ahmad as Jovanna ‘Cleopatra,’ a sharp and calculating figure within the Panther operation. New faces include Salvatore Esposito, Orli Shuka, and Stéphane Coulon, each portraying key members of the criminal network. The film blends fast-paced action, deception, and betrayal in a tense narrative that spans multiple European cities.
