The battle for destiny continues as Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force, the highly anticipated sequel to Kingdom of Storms, brings another breathtaking chapter in director Wuershan's visionary trilogy. Adapted from the classic 16th-century novel Investiture of the Gods, this stunning epic blends history, mythology, and fantasy in an awe-inspiring spectacle of war, magic, and shifting alliances.
Following the rise of the tyrannical King Zhou of Shang, Demon Force plunges audiences into the dramatic siege of Xiqi, where Lord Ji Fa and the exiled Jiang Ziya lead a desperate defence against the overwhelming might of the Shang army. As the battle unfolds, the forces of mortals and immortals collide in a struggle for control of the Fengshen Bang, the divine list that determines the fate of gods and men. With secrets emerging and loyalties tested, the fate of an empire hangs in the balance.
The film brings together a stellar cast, with Yu Shi in his role as Ji Fa, the leader of Xiqi, and Fei Xiang as the ruthless King Yin Shou. Chen Muchi plays Yin Jiao, the conflicted prince caught between duty and destiny, while Huang Bo portrays Jiang Ziya, a fallen Kunlun immortal seeking redemption. Ci Sha appears as the enigmatic Yang Jian, while Narana Erdyneeva embodies the mesmerising but deadly Daji, the fox spirit who has ensnared the Shang king. Nashi takes on the role of Deng Chanyu, a formidable general of the Shang forces, and Wu Hsing-kuo plays Wen Zhong, the Grand Preceptor of the Shang army.
With breathtaking visuals, grand-scale battles, and an intricate story woven from legend, Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force promises an unforgettable cinematic experience. The clash of mortals and deities reaches new heights as the fate of the Shang dynasty and the world beyond is decided.
Prepare for an epic journey into myth and war when Creation of the Gods II: Demon Force arrives in 2025.
