After the release of its official trailer that has reached over 15 million views, becoming the most watched trailer for an Arab film, The Blue Elephant 2 continues to surprise audiences, this time, with the unveiling of its 4 upside-down character posters reflecting the peculiarities of a mysterious atmosphere.

The posters feature four cast members: Karim Abdelaziz, Nelly Karim, Hend Sabry, and Eyad Nassar. Their styles and costumes in the posters reveal that they will be playing multiple characters in the film.
