Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is a heist film sequel seven years in the making. Written and directed once more by Christian Gudegast, the movie continues the stories of detective “Big Nick” O’Brien (Gerard Butler) and heist mastermind Donnie Wilson (O’Shea Jackson Jr.) after the events of 2018’s Den of Thieves. In a twist on the relationship between Nick and Donnie in the first film, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera sees the pair working together, The Odd Couple-style, to plan and execute a diamond heist from Europe’s biggest diamond exchange.
