Rendel: Cycle of Revenge is a 2024 Finnish superhero film directed by Jesse Haaja. The film is a sequel to Rendel. The film stars Kris Gummerus, as the title character, Sean Cronin and Bruce Payne.[1][2]
The premiere of the film was tentatively scheduled for early 2021.[3] Due to unexpected problems, the film's script could not be filmed in its entirety, and soon after filming, the project was interrupted in an extraordinary way and the director was removed from the production. Due to the disappointments related to making the sequel, Haaja ended his career as a filmmaker.[4] The film was first released digitally in Germany on 21 June 2024.
After losing his family, the masked vigilante RENDEL is caught in a cycle of revenge, destroying the VALA organization piece by piece. VALA's ruthless leader Christopher "Smiley" Cox is about to release a harmful NH25 vaccine worldwide, which Rendel is trying to stop. A spiral of violence awakens the ghosts of the past and raises the stakes in the battle against a mythical enemy. Can a vigilante be a hero? RENDEL - a Dark Hero of Vengeance.[5]
