Excitement is brewing among fans of the 1996 hit film Twister as Universal Pictures drops the first trailer for its long-awaited sequel, Twisters. Scheduled to hit theaters on July 19, this sequel boasts a fresh cast including the likes of Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos, promising to deliver another thrilling ride into the heart of tornado country. While the release date draws near, details about the sequel have been kept tightly under wraps until now, leaving fans eagerly anticipating this latest installment. Amidst the frenzy of the Super Bowl, Universal Pictures seized the opportunity to release the inaugural trailer for Twisters, offering a sneak peek into the action-packed sequel.
With the spotlight on new protagonists, the trailer introduces audiences to Tyler Owens, portrayed by Glen Powell, a charismatic storm-chaser whose daring exploits immediately attract attention from viewers. Yet, before detailing Tyler’s narrative, the trailer takes viewers into a heart-pounding scenario involving Kate, played by Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Javi, portrayed by Anthony Ramos, as they confront an approaching tornado.
The trailer hints at a pivotal moment in Kate’s journey, marked by a traumatic encounter with a tornado that leaves her grappling with the aftermath. Tyler’s reference to Kate’s audacious attempt to “destroy a tornado" hints at the characters’ motivations and the challenges they face in their pursuit of understanding nature’s destructive force.
In a nostalgic nod to its predecessor, Twisters revisits the groundbreaking research initiated by Jo and Bill Harding, portrayed by Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton respectively in the original Twister. The iconic Dorothy machine, a symbol of their pioneering efforts, makes a cameo appearance in the trailer, offering a sense of continuity for fans. Like its predecessor, Twisters follows a new ensemble cast as they pursue scientific discovery.
However, Twisters takes the stakes to new heights with the inclusion of dual tornadoes, promising even more breathtaking and unpredictable encounters than its predecessor. The trailer’s stunning visuals, coupled with its promise of heart-pounding action, position Twisters as the quintessential summer blockbuster, poised to pull the audiences in theatres with its blend of spectacle and suspense.

With its summer release date fast approaching, Twisters is all set to take the box office by storm, fueled by the star power and the adrenaline-fueled plot that promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats.
