Ejen Ali is back and the mission is bigger than ever! Marking a proud milestone in Malaysian animation, Ejen Ali The Movie 2 (EATM2) has made its grand return to cinemas with an electrifying premiere last night at IOI City Mall, Putrajaya. Long anticipated by fans both locally and internationally, the film reintroduces audiences to the beloved junior spy through a stunning 3D animated journey filled with action, adventure, and heroic storytelling suitable for all ages.
Set for nationwide release on 22 May 2025, the film promises even more explosive action and a deeper, more immersive narrative experience. Since its debut on TV3 in 2016, Ejen Ali has grown into an internationally recognised IP, reaching over 65 countries. Its 2019 film earned over RM30 million (USD 8 million) across cinemas and digital platforms, solidifying its place in local animation history. Now, with new technology, returning fan-favourite characters, and enriched world-building, the sequel continues to spark massive online engagement, reaffirming Ejen Ali’s position as a regional animation powerhouse.
In the futuristic city of Cyberaya, Ejen Ali The Movie 2 follows Ali, an ordinary boy unexpectedly recruited into the covert spy agency MATA. This time, he is the chosen pilot for a high-stakes mission under SATRIA, an elite program powered by an AI-assisted mecha suit. The mission takes a darker turn when Rizwan enlists Ali’s help to uncover the true mastermind behind escalating threats in Cyberaya. Meanwhile, the mysterious hacker Neonimus resurfaces, driven by a personal vendetta against Ali, though his true intentions to unleash chaos remain shrouded in secrecy. As Neonimus weaves a dangerous web of deception, every choice Ali makes becomes critical, determining not only his fate but the future of the entire city.
Speaking at the gala premiere, Pn. Nini Yusof, Chief Executive Officer of Media Prima Television Networks & Primeworks Studios, shared, “We are immensely proud to witness Ejen Ali reaching this significant moment with the release of its second movie. This franchise has transcended local entertainment and become a true testament to Malaysian creativity, spirit, and storytelling, reaching audiences far and wide.”
Usamah Zaid Yasin, Director of Ejen Ali The Movie 2 and CEO of WAU Animation, expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering support, “The journey to bring Ejen Ali The Movie 2 to life has been long and filled with dedication. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this sequel since it was first announced, long before the pandemic. Their continued enthusiasm and loyalty mean everything to us. We hope this film delivers the emotion and excitement they have been patiently anticipating for so many years.”
Music plays a pivotal role in deepening the emotional impact of EATM2, with a soundtrack that underscores the film’s most powerful moments. This time, fans can look forward to an exceptional lineup featuring Hanya Kamu by the legendary Dato’ M. Nasir, Teman Sejati by Indonesian band Nidji, and Penjuara by Hael Husaini. Each track carries its own emotional weight, infusing the storyline with a distinct musical identity that mirrors the characters’ journeys and pivotal events.
Meanwhile, Hanya Kamu, the film’s official theme song, was performed live by Dato’ M. Nasir, moving the audience with a heartfelt rendition that celebrated resilience and inner strength. Adding a dose of nostalgia, the beloved viral hit Mamak Maju from the first Ejen Ali movie made a surprise comeback in the form of a dynamic flash mob performance, injecting a burst of excitement and fun into the celebration.
Ahead of the official release of Ejen Ali The Movie 2, fan excitement is at an all-time high. Special fan screenings at nine GSC locations sold out in record time, showing strong support from audiences nationwide. Early ticket sales are now open at over 70 cinemas, and fans are encouraged to book early with the school holidays approaching. To mark the movie’s return, exclusive merchandise is also available, including limited-edition SATRIA and Ali tumbler figurines, an upgraded interactive IRIS device, as well as a collectible popcorn bucket featuring the movie’s iconic characters.
