Facing a choice between the love of his life and the fate of the known universe, he endeavors to prevent a terrible future only he can foresee.”

The movie has recently been delayed to November 17, 2023, and, unlike its predecessor, which was released simultaneously in theatres and on streaming, it will only release in cinemas.
