But Barsoom is no longer the land he once defended. Dejah Thoris has vanished. Helium is torn apart by arcane storms. And beneath the planet\u2019s scorched surface lies a hidden underworld ruled by false gods \u2014 entities so advanced in technology that they&#8217;ve become objects of divine worship.

Carter is no longer the leaping, grinning hero \u2014 he\u2019s a man adrift in layers of distorted truth. He doesn\u2019t fight for land, but for the minds and wills of people turned into believers. Alongside Thuvia \u2014 a fierce warrior princess with bloodlines lost to legend \u2014 and a half-living, half-mechanical survivor from the forgotten age, Carter embarks on a journey through dimensions of time, space, and belief to topple the very notion of divinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static1.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/John-Carter.jpg\" alt=\"Cancelled John Carter 2 Story Revealed By Director\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Visually, the film draws inspiration from&nbsp;<em>Dune<\/em>,&nbsp;<em>Blade Runner 2049<\/em>, and early&nbsp;<em>Star Wars<\/em>: vast metaphysical temples, sterile blue light, unsettling religious rites, and the marriage of mysticism and machinery.
