Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, billed as Den of Thieves: Pantera, is an upcoming American action crime drama film written and directed by Christian Gudegast. The movie serves as a direct sequel to the 2018 hit film Den of Thieves and features a thrilling continuation of its high-stakes heist narrative.
