Beyond the disappointment of not finding a real sequel, visiting piracy sites like Vegamovies poses serious risks:
Let’s address the central question directly: No legitimate film has been produced for John Carter 2.
Disney does not currently have a sequel in development. However, the landscape has shifted since 2012. With the rise of streaming services, several cancelled properties (like Tron: Legacy) have received second looks. Recently, there have been whispers of a potential reboot or a Disney+ series, but nothing concrete.
In 2023 and 2024, director Andrew Stanton reiterated that while he still loves the characters, the sheer cost of a John Carter sequel (which would need a $200+ million budget to properly depict Barsoom) is prohibitive. Unlike Marvel or Star Wars, the brand remains niche.
This is where pirate sites like Vegamovies exploit fan demand. john carter 2 vegamovies
For the uninitiated, Vegamovies is a notorious piracy website known for leaking Bollywood, Hollywood, and dubbed regional films. It’s the wild west of the streaming underworld—low quality, high risk, but packed with content you can’t find anywhere else.
And for the last three years, Vegamovies has listed a file called:
"John.Carter.2.2024.Hindi.Dubbed.720p.Vegamovies.mkv"
The description is even wilder:
"After returning to Earth, John Carter is summoned back to Barsoom to stop a rogue Thern cult. Featuring unfinished CGI and storyboards. Director’s cut leak."
Here’s where it gets interesting. Before Disney killed the sequel, Andrew Stanton and Pixar’s story team had already written a full script for The Gods of Mars. They even storyboarded key sequences—the plant men of the dead sea, the Temple of Issus, the resurrection of Tars Tarkas.
A 4chan user claimed in 2023 that an animatic (a moving storyboard with voiceover) was stolen from a former Disney animator’s laptop and leaked onto private torrent sites. Vegamovies, known for scraping private trackers, might have re-uploaded this animatic under the "John Carter 2" label.
I downloaded the file (again, on a burner laptop). The 1.2GB file was not a movie. It was a 47-minute animatic with temp voices and no finished animation. It was crude, but it was real. The story beats matched the novels. I’m not saying it’s official—but it’s not nothing. Beyond the disappointment of not finding a real
Vegamovies is a click-farm. They create fake listings for non-existent sequels to drive traffic. Using AI art tools, they generated a poster of Taylor Kitsch looking old and grizzled on Mars. The actual download file, when you brave the pop-up ads, is either:
Most likely, "John Carter 2" on Vegamovies is an AI-generated ghost. A digital siren song for desperate fans.
Here is the real tragedy. We are so starved for John Carter 2 that we will click on anything. The piracy sites know this. For every 1,000 clicks on a fake "John Carter 2" link, they make ad revenue. It’s emotional manipulation via nostalgia.
But Vegamovies accidentally did something beautiful: they kept the dream alive. A new generation of 15-year-olds in Chennai or Jakarta, searching for action movies, will stumble across that fake listing. They’ll watch the original John Carter to "catch up" for the sequel that doesn’t exist. And just like that, a new fan is born. "After returning to Earth, John Carter is summoned
The most disappointing reality: some fan in India or the Middle East took the 2012 film, re-edited the ending to make it look like a sequel (changing the color grading to "dark sequel mode"), added a fake "Part 2" subtitle, and dubbed it in Hindi. Vegamovies hosts hundreds of these "fake sequels."
