The race for redemption is on once again! The first official trailer for Need for Speed 2 (2025) has just been released, and Vin Diesel and Aaron Paul return to the adrenaline-fueled world of illegal street racing, high-octane chases, and heart-pounding action.
Directed by Justin Lin (Fast & Furious franchise), Need for Speed 2 picks up where the first film left off, with Tobey Marshall (Paul) seeking justice after a dangerous betrayal. But now, with Dominic Toretto (Diesel) stepping in, the two racing legends must team up to take on a new, even more dangerous set of rivals who threaten not only their lives but the very future of the racing underground. It’s not just about speed anymore—it’s about survival.
The teaser opens with Tobey Marshall (Paul) standing beside a roaring engine, his eyes focused as he grips the wheel of a sleek, customized sports car. His voiceover cuts through the noise: “There’s no finish line when you’re racing against the past. But this time, I’m ready to finish it.”
Key moments from the trailer include:
-
Tobey and Dominic racing side by side on the open highways, pushing their cars to the limit as they battle a deadly new rival racing crew, led by a mysterious figure known only as The Phantom
-
Intense high-speed chases through the streets of Los Angeles, with explosive crashes, near-death moments, and pulse-pounding drifts

The return of Imogen Poots as Analeigh, Tobey’s partner in the underground racing scene, who is forced to make difficult decisions as the stakes rise even higher
-
The introduction of The Phantom (played by Pedro Pascal), a ruthless driver with a dark past and an obsession with taking down both Tobey and Dominic in an ultimate showdown of speed and s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁
-
