So excited for this! The first Greyhound was such a tense, well-made war film. Hanks absolutely nailed the role of Captain Krause. Can't wait to see where they take the story next! �

I enjoyed the first film but hope they give more character development this time around. The action sequences were incredible, but I wanted to connect more with the crew members.

Tom Hanks writing the script again? That's a good sign. The first movie had such authentic dialogue and attention to historical detail. Hope they keep that same energy!

Interesting they're moving from Atlantic to Pacific theater. Wonder if we'll see any Japanese perspective in this one? The war film genre could use more balanced storytelling.

Shooting in Sydney makes sense - they've got great naval facilities there. Hope they bring back Stephen Graham too, he was fantastic in the first one. 2026 feels so far away though!
