- STXfilms has released a set of character posters for Greenland 2: Migration featuring Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin and Roman Griffin Davis.
- The sequel follows the Garrity family as they leave their Greenland bunker after a comet strike.
- STX acquired the sequel in a major deal; the film opens January 9, 2026.
What is Greenland 2: Migration?
Greenland 2: Migration is the post-apocalyptic follow-up to the 2020 thriller Greenland. Directed by Ric Roman Waugh and written by Mitchell LaFortune and Chris Sparling, the film returns Gerard Butler and Morena Baccarin as John and Allison Garrity. The official premise: after a comet strike decimates much of Earth, the Garrity family must abandon their bunker in Greenland and traverse a shattered world in search of a new home.
New character posters arrive
STXfilms has dropped a gallery of character posters that set the tone for the sequel. The individual prints spotlight Butler, Baccarin and Roman Griffin Davis (who replaces Roger Dale Floyd as Nathan Garrity) against a bleak backdrop — comets streak across a stormy sky while the characters look wary but determined.
The posters emphasize survival and family, two core themes of Greenland 2. Each portrait keeps the focus tight on the character, giving fans a first look at emotion and costume design without revealing plot details.

How Greenland 2 got the green light
The sequel became a hot property on the festival market and landed in a major deal for STX. The studio paid roughly $75 million to secure the film: $25 million for domestic rights and about $50 million for international rights. Multiple streamers reportedly pursued the project before STX exercised its option — a strategic move given the original film’s success.
STX’s acquisition ensures a broad release and marketing push, positioning Greenland 2 as a tentpole start to the new year.
Release date and what to expect
Greenland 2: Migration is scheduled to open in theaters on January 9, 2026. Expect a focus on survival drama, family stakes and large-scale disaster imagery, consistent with the franchise’s blend of human drama and spectacle.
The new character posters offer an early visual cue: the film will likely balance intimate character moments with the vast, dangerous world the Garritys must cross. Fans of the original should watch for early trailers and additional promotional art as STX ramps up marketing toward the January release.
For now, the posters give the clearest look yet at the film’s tone — a rain of comets, determined faces, and a hard road ahead for the Garrity family.
