The Scorpion King (2025) – Official Trailer | Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson steps back into the sands of legend in this gritty prequel that uncovers the origins of Mathayus, the man destined to become the Scorpion King. Set in the crumbling empire of Akkad, the film chronicles Mathayus’s rise from outcast to warrior, through betrayal, survival, and brutal war.

Walton Goggins is mesmerizing as a ruthless warlord bent on uniting Akkad through blood and fear, while Scott Adkins commands the battlefield as a fierce rival general who sees Mathayus as both threat and equal. Amina Dais brings mystery and strength as a desert fighter whose past may hold the key to Mathayus’s destiny.

With sweeping battle sequences, intense one-on-one duels, and a tone that leans darker and more mythic than its predecessors, The Scorpion King (2025) reignites the franchise with a fresh edge.

Score: 6.6/10 — A flawed but fierce return to ancient glory, offering brutal action, strong performances, and a welcome expansion of the Scorpion King’s legend.
