Goodfellas 2 (2025) is the highly anticipated sequel to Martin Scorsese’s 1990 gangster classic Goodfellas. Directed once again by Martin Scorsese, the film stars Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, with a tribute to Ray Liotta through carefully crafted flashback sequences using CGI and archival footage. The film had a production budget of approximately $120 million, allowing for high-end visual effects, authentic 1970s and 1980s-era set recreations, and an all-star supporting cast.
The story picks up decades after the events of the original. Henry Hill’s (Ray Liotta) death leaves Jimmy Conway (De Niro) and Tommy DeVito (Pesci) reflecting on their criminal past as the next generation of mobsters rises. When Jimmy’s estranged son, played by Jeremy Allen White, becomes involved with a dangerous rival faction, Jimmy and Tommy are forced to confront their past actions while navigating the shifting landscape of organized crime. The film explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and redemption as the characters face the consequences of their lifelong criminal ties.
Set for release on October 3, 2025, Goodfellas 2 benefited from a well-orchestrated marketing campaign that included nostalgic callbacks to the original film and Scorsese’s signature gritty style. The film’s premiere at the Venice Film Festival generated a standing ovation, increasing anticipation worldwide.
Upon release, Goodfellas 2 became a box office hit, earning over $500 million globally. Critics praised Scorsese’s masterful direction, De Niro and Pesci’s captivating performances, and the film’s ability to honor Liotta’s legacy while delivering a fresh, compelling narrative.
