Horizon: Rise of the Champions is a 2026 American action sports film directed by Andy Muschietti and produced by Zack Snyder and Jerry Bruckheimer from a screenplay by Muschietti, Justin Lin, and Chris Morgan. Based on the Forza Horizon video games, the film is the second installment in the Horizon film series. It stars Sasha Calle and Cara Delevingne in the main roles, alongside Charles Parnell, Michael Shannon, Norman Reedus, Tyrese Gibson, Jeffrey Wright, Toni Collette, Jay Ryan, Chris Pine, Kyle Chandler, and Charlize Theron. In the film, Aaliyah Corazon and her girlfriend Amara Taylor team up with the cousin of their former rival as they are forced to participate in a race between them and former champions-turned-competitors, including the racist and unreasonable Charlotte Rhodes. Rise of the Champions was released on December 17th, 2026; the film received acclaim for its fast-paced screenplay and mature themes, action, score, visual style, and performances, particularly Calle, Delevingne, Parnell, and Theron. It was also a financial success like its predecessor, grossing $1.16 billion worldwide against a break-even point of $150 million, making it the second-highest-grossing video game adaptation of all time behind The Super Mario Bros. Movie. A sequel entitled Horizon: Supersonic was released one year later.
