Plot Summary:
Set a few years after the events of the first film, Raya and the Last Dragon 2 dives deeper into the magical and culturally rich world of Kumandra. The lands are thriving under the unified leadership of the tribes, but peace is soon threatened by a new danger. A mysterious dark energy, known as the Blight, begins spreading across the land, draining the life from Kumandra’s rivers, forests, and villages.
Raya (Kelly Marie Tran), now a respected leader of Heart, discovers that the Blight is tied to an ancient relic hidden deep within the Dragon’s Veil, a forbidden region of Kumandra. With the help of Sisu (Awkwafina), the last dragon, and her loyal companions—including Boun (Izaac Wang), Tong (Benedict Wong), and Noi—Raya embarks on another epic quest to save her homeland.
Their journey takes them through treacherous terrain, including the Whispering Caves and the Shifting Sands of Tail, where they encounter new allies, like Amara, a warrior from a lost dragon tribe, and Karo, a cunning shapeshifter. Along the way, Sisu must confront the truth about the dragons’ past, while Raya grapples with whether she can truly trust others after being betrayed before.
In a climactic battle, Raya and her friends must combine their strengths and overcome their personal fears to restore balance to Kumandra. The film concludes with an emotional reunion of dragonkind and humanity, solidifying the message of unity and trust
