The trailer begins outside a gated manor where photographers swarm as a vehicle drives in and a news anchor says a ‘worldwide manhunt’ was launched for Artemis Fowl (Colin Farrell).
Fowl has been said to have pulled off, ‘some of the biggest robberies ever,’ as Fowl tells his son, Artemis Fowl II (Ferdia Shaw) that they’ve, ‘garnered quite a bit of interest,’ and asks if he’s ready, welcoming him to the ‘family business.’
His cane unlocks a secret room, which contains a number of priceless artifacts, as ‘Artie’ is told there is, ‘an artifact from another world that threatens mankind.’

‘Artemis Fowl is a true original. In challenging times, a twelve year old criminal mastermind is one heck of a travelling companion,’ Branagh began.
‘Smart, funny, and cool as mustard, he’ll take you to new worlds, meet unforgettable characters, and mix magic with mayhem,’ he added.
‘His own family is everything to him, and (although he’d never admit it), he’d be as proud as I am that families around the world will now be able to enjoy his first amazing screen adventures together, on Disney +,’ the director concluded.
