ANACONDA (2026) – New Trailer | Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pratt

The legendary jungle nightmare returns in ANACONDA (2026)—a new chapter that revives the terrifying legacy of the classic creature franchise that began with Anaconda. This time, the danger lurking beneath the rivers of the Amazon is bigger, smarter, and far more ruthless than anything humans have faced before.

The story follows wildlife researcher Dr. Lena Carter (Scarlett Johansson), who leads a scientific expedition deep into an unexplored section of the Amazon rainforest after satellite scans reveal strange movements along an isolated river system. Rumors among nearby villages speak of an enormous serpent capable of swallowing entire boats—stories many scientists dismiss as myth.

But Lena isn’t convinced. Ancient indigenous carvings and fossil evidence suggest a prehistoric bloodline of giant anacondas may still exist, hidden deep within the jungle ecosystem where humans have rarely ventured. Determined to prove the legend real, she assembles a small team of researchers and survival experts for the expedition.

Among them is Jack Mercer (Chris Pratt), a seasoned wilderness guide and former military tracker who has spent years navigating some of the most dangerous environments on Earth. Jack doesn’t believe in monster stories—but he does believe the jungle hides dangers most people underestimate.

As the expedition travels deeper along a remote tributary of the Amazon River, the team begins to encounter disturbing signs that something massive is moving through the water. Enormous tracks appear along muddy riverbanks, entire sections of forest seem crushed by something colossal, and local wildlife begins disappearing overnight.

Soon, the terrifying truth emerges.

The expedition has entered the territory of a massive anaconda unlike any species ever documented—an apex predator that has evolved for centuries in isolation. Stretching longer than a bus and capable of moving silently through both water and jungle terrain, the creature is not only enormous but disturbingly intelligent.

One by one, the team realizes they are no longer studying the jungle. They are being hunted by it.

Stranded in the heart of the rainforest after their boats are destroyed, Lena and Jack must rely on survival instincts, limited weapons, and each other to escape the predator stalking them through the dense jungle. The deeper they travel, the more they realize the serpent might not be alone.

The film builds toward a massive showdown during a violent tropical storm along a flooded river, where the giant anaconda rises from the water for a final confrontation that could decide whether anyone escapes the jungle alive.

Packed with intense survival action, massive creature effects, and breathtaking rainforest cinematography, ANACONDA (2026) aims to deliver a modern reboot of one of the most famous creature horror franchises in cinema.

“In the jungle… you’re never the top predator.”

Early hype: Fans of Jurassic World–style creature spectacles and classic survival thrillers are already calling this one of the most exciting monster movies coming to theaters in 2026.
