American Gangster 2 (2025) Starring: Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, Mahershala Ali American Gangster 2 continues the legacy of crime, loyalty, and power in the gritty streets of 1970s New York.

After years of silence, Frank Lucas (Denzel Washington) resurfaces in a city that has changed but remains corrupt at its core. Older, wiser, and even more dangerous, he finds that new criminal empires have emerged from the ashes of his downfall — and one in particular threatens everything he built. Detective Richie Roberts (Russell Crowe) has retired, but when the body count begins to rise and Lucas’s name resurfaces in whispers across the underworld, he’s pulled back into the shadows to face his old rival once more. Both men are forced to confront the cost of their past choices as the line between justice and vengeance blurs beyond recognition. Meanwhile, a new power broker (Mahershala Ali) rises from the chaos — younger, ruthless, and backed by international money. As Lucas struggles to reclaim his dominance, he discovers that the real enemy may not be the man across the table, but the system itself, now more corrupt and powerful than ever.
