“Speed isn’t the danger… it’s what drives you.”

Overview

Driven 2 (2026) roars back onto the track as a high-octane sequel to the 2001 racing drama, blending emotional redemption with blistering speed and modern motorsport spectacle. Sylvester Stallone returns as Joe Tanto, the legendary racer who once fell from grace but now mentors a new generation. Drawn back into the dangerous world of Formula racing, Joe faces his toughest challenge yet — mentoring Dominic Cross (Vin Diesel), a raw, fearless driver whose obsession with victory mirrors Joe’s own past mistakes.

When a powerful new corporate team enters the circuit with hidden agendas, rivalries ignite both on and off the track. Ana de Armas plays Elena Cruz, a tech engineer and former driver who develops next-gen race tech while caught in the emotional crossfire between Joe and Dominic. Michael B. Jordan joins as Rico Torres, a rising star determined to dethrone Cross, and Scott Eastwood portrays Alex Ward, the corporate racer willing to play dirty for glory.
