Captain LagbeardGerard Butler’s Big Nick Returns for Another Heist – This Time, You Can Watch from Your Couch!
Attention, action junkies! If you missed Den of Thieves 2: Pantera in theaters—or just prefer watching Gerard Butler take down bad guys while wearing pajamas—good news: the high-octane sequel is finally making its way to Netflix.
Netflix has officially confirmed that the much-anticipated heist film will be available for streaming on March 20.
That means in just a few weeks, you can grab some popcorn, sit back, and watch Big Nick O’Brien (Gerard Butler) attempt the most audacious diamond heist of all time—and, let’s be honest, probably cause an unbelievable amount of destruction in the process.
Oh, and let’s not forget O’Shea Jackson Jr.’s Donnie is back too. Remember him? The guy who barely made it out alive last time? Well, he’s back in the game, and this time, he’s not running—he’s planning the ultimate score.
What’s the Deal with ‘Den of Thieves 2: Pantera’?
If you need a refresher (because let’s face it, 2018 was a long time ago), Den of Thieves introduced us to Big Nick, an unhinged yet oddly lovable detective who plays by his own rules—which usually involve guns, chaos, and some seriously questionable decision-making.
Now, in the sequel, Big Nick and Donnie form an unlikely alliance to pull off the biggest diamond heist the world has ever seen.
Yep, you heard that right. These two former enemies are now partners-in-crime (or, in Nick’s case, partners-in-chaotic-law-enforcement).
Their target? The world’s largest diamond exchange—because, you know, robbing banks is so last decade.
After hitting theaters in January, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera made a quick getaway to PVOD on January 28.
And now, Netflix has decided to let us all in on the action without having to leave the house (or buy overpriced movie popcorn).
How Long Did It Take to Reach Netflix?
Surprisingly, not long at all. The movie premiered in theaters on January 10, and just two months and ten days later, it’s dropping on Netflix.
Compare that to some other films (looking at you, 6-month delays), and it’s clear that Netflix wants you to binge-watch Gerard Butler doing Gerard Butler things ASAP.
The streaming giant confirmed the news in a recent Instagram post—yes, in true heist fashion, they buried the announcement in the fifth slide of their March content lineup.
Smooth move, Netflix. You can check out the full list of March releases (and the sneaky announcement) right here.
Should You Watch It?
Uh, yeah.
If you love action, shootouts, explosions that are probably not necessary, and heist plots that somehow always go sideways, then this movie is absolutely for you.
Plus, if you’re still wondering what happened to Donnie after the first film’s shocking ending, this sequel finally gives us answers. Spoiler alert: he’s still alive. But how long will that last? Well, you’ll have to watch to find out.
Final Thoughts: Mark Your Calendar for March 20!
Whether you’re an OG Den of Thieves fan or just someone who loves a good heist movie, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera is about to bring the action straight to your screen.
With Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. teaming up, insane action sequences, and a plot that promises more twists than a pretzel factory, it’s bound to be a wild ride.
So, set your Netflix reminders, prepare for some adrenaline-pumping action, and maybe hide your diamonds—because Big Nick is coming, and he means business.
