A small river skiff slides through a narrow, fetid channel of the Amazon at dusk as a lone poacher crouches in the bow, breathing shallow and tense. The man, sweating and trembling, hears something vast moving in the water beside him. He searches for an escape but finds none; the hull shudders as a flank of a massive serpent brushes against it. He brings his pistol to his temple and fires a single shot. The sound echoes once before the boat ruptures and the unseen creature punches through the wood. The man falls forward, lifeless blood pooling on the planks, and the great snake drags the wreckage beneath the surface.

Not long after, a documentary crew boards a larger launch and pushes off into the same river, intent on finding the Shirishamas, an isolated indigenous people thought to be lost. Terri Flores directs her small expedition: she pilots the project with quiet determination and carries an old friendship with the cameraman, Danny Rich, who grew up with her and keeps the main camera trained on every moment. Denise Kalberg organizes logistics as production manager while Gary Dixon records ambient sound. Warren Westridge serves as the project's voice in the narration, and Professor Steven Cale accompanies them as an academic authority on native South American cultures. Mateo steers the crew's craft as their local boatman and guide. Their footage and plans concentrate on the Shirishamas, and tension simmers beneath the team's professional routines: Danny and Terri exchange charged looks that hint at more than friendship; Denise juggles timetables and expenses; Gary jokes nervously to ease stress; Cale argues about methodology; Warren intones the script in clipped cadences.

They encounter Paul Serone when he appears on the riverbank with a rope-coiled sling and the confident gait of a man who knows snakes. He presents himself as a hunter and tracker, insisting that he can lead them deeper into the jungle to reach the Shirishamas. He spins stories of anacondas that the tribe venerates as gods and guardians, of rituals performed in the canopy and at river shrines. Terri and Danny consult, and despite unease among some of the crew, they accept Serone's offer; they need a guide and he knows hidden channels. Serone boards with a careful smile, then seats himself where he can observe every face.

As the boat bites downriver, Serone weaves tales of the Shirishamas' relationship with the monstrous snakes -- a mixture of reverence and predatory knowledge. He shares a grim awareness of how men hunt and men lie to one another for profit. He eyes Professor Cale with particular intensity; Cale challenges Serone repeatedly, insisting on academic rigor and smelling a charlatan's performance. The argument escalates to bitter words by twilight. Later, when Cale begins to wheeze and break out in hives, his breathing constricts and his skin swells -- a severe allergic reaction clamps his throat. The crew panics; Gary shouts for help. Serone steps forward, the calm shifting into steady action: with a knife and trembling hands he opens a clean incision beneath Cale's larynx and fashions a crude but effective cricothyrotomy, inserting a tube and allowing the professor to breathe again. The emergency procedure saves Cale's life. The crew is stunned; Serone's skill redeems him in their eyes and, having proved his usefulness, he leverages the favor.

Once Cale stabilizes, Serone refuses to turn back for proper medical facilities. He argues that the Shirishamas lie ahead and that turning around would end the mission -- and perhaps cost them a unique story. He insists, and when the skipper Mateo suggests gradual progress toward a port, Serone undermines him. At a narrow choke point where driftwood and rooted vegetation block the waterway, Serone slams a hastily strapped explosive charge against the barrier and detonates it, tearing a hole in the jammed logs. The sudden blast throws the crew into turbulence. Water slams the hull, their auxiliary skiff that they had lashed to the stern snaps free and flips in the current; the escape boat sinks, twisting away and disappearing under the brown river. Mateo curses, scrambling for line. Serone smiles, unrepentant; with no backup craft and fewer options for retreat, the crew's dependence on him deepens.

Night thickens. They lose sight of the bank and drift into a gallery of black water and slashed moonlight. Without warning, Mateo slips on a wet board while checking the stern. He staggers and falls into the cold current. He grabs for the gunnel, but the surface explodes with a wet impact -- a triangular head and a vast, muscled body rise and collapse over him. The crew lunges, shouting, but the water churns with sudden violence. The anaconda clamps around Mateo's torso, winds its coils with bone-crushing speed, and drags him under. His screams cut off as the snake pulls him into the bladder of shadow and finishes him with tight, hydraulic pressure until his body goes limp and disappears. The launch quivers with the violence of the attack and the weight of the fresh loss.

Panic breaks into recrimination. Denise sobs; Gary curses; Warren aims his voice to steady everyone. Serone moves with purpose. He slaughters a small monkey hauled from the shoreline, slicing its throat with a knife, and skins it quickly. He rigs its hide as bait and lashes it to a pole, explaining coldly that the anaconda will come for fresh meat. Terri recoils, horrified, and confronts him. Serone lifts the only working firearms from the storage locker and levels them against her protests, asserting control. He has their guns, and with the storm of fear and grief around them, the crew cannot dislodge his command. He watches the black water with a hunter's silence.

The anaconda returns to the surface with a tortuous, glistening slide. It slams into the boat's stern and begins to crush the hull against the rocks; the deck bows under its mass. Gary, who is nearest to the commotion, reaches over the rail to wrench at the coils. The snake lashes him, wraps its muscular body over his torso and shoulders, and crushes his ribcage like an old boot by flexing and coiling tighter. He screams, bones cracking audibly beneath the reptile's constrictive force. Terri lunges to help; Serone intercepts her. He smashes her with the butt of a gun to the temple, knocking her down and rendering her immobile as Gary's strength ebbs. The anaconda draws in a final crushing squeeze and pops the stern with a wet, sucking sound. Gary dies in a compression of breath and bone; his lifeless body slumps into the slime at the waterline and is pulled under. Blood clouds the river in dark ribbons.

With two human corpses and the loss of their small skiff, the crew confronts Serone. They bind him, tying his hands and feet to the mast with coils of rope in a burst of defiant order, intending to restrain the man who has tipped their voyage into murder and mayhem. They argue heatedly over what to do as wind pushes them toward a narrow gorge with a rising roar: a waterfall. The launch sticks on a rock shelf as the current drags it forward. Planks creak; the hull quivers. In the chaos, Serone tests his bonds loose with calculated motion. When the boat tilts toward the drop, the group slams into the rails and scramble for purchase. Denise moves to cut an angry Serone free to prevent him from strangling her; while pushing, he lashes out. With the current wanting to pull everyone over the lip, Serone strikes Denise across the face, and in a second more he draws one of the unsecured pistols and fires a precise shot into her chest. The blast detonates the immediate air. Denise collapses, then slips into the turbulent water. Her body smacks the rock face and is swept into the foam. Serone does not hesitate; he scoops the gun back as if nothing has happened. The boat surges. The crew cries out in shock and fury; they cannot stop the current that pitches them forward.

As the launch careens off the shelf, it spins and tumbles toward a cataract. Warren Westridge sees the monstrous coils raising from the river and understands what must be done. He grabs a flare and shouts for everyone to hold on while tallying a plan with the clarity of someone who knows his remaining moments are finite. He hurls the flare into the water and leaps toward the snake's attention, barking and waving to create a diversion. The anaconda pivots on the burning red arc, and Warren keeps moving toward it, baiting the serpent away from where Terri and Danny cling to the upturned bow. The creature lunges for him, strikes, and wraps around his torso. Warren fights, flailing and crying out into the shadowed spray, but the coils cinch relentlessly. The last thing the crew sees of him is a hand reaching out and then his body disappearing beneath the slick, living rope. Warren is crushed, gasping and then silent. His sacrifice splits the night; his body follows the river down.

Professor Cale, the one who had been saved moments before by Serone's emergency surgery, awakens in a daze as the commotion swells. He disorients himself in motion sickness and then finds focus. He scrambles to assist Terri and Danny as the boat spins. He helps to free Terri from ropes and stabilizes the launch as they come through the final curtain of whitewater. In the tumble, Danny fights Serone, who has been partially freed by the turmoil and the loosened binding in the chaos. The two men grapple amid spray and flapping canvas: Danny drives a shoulder into Serone's ribs; Serone clamps his hands around Danny's throat and heaves, slamming him backward. The scuffle carries them to the edge, where Serone uses a wicked, practiced shove to hurl Danny over the rail and into the tumbling river. Water swallows Danny as he struggles with limbs thrashing and the current snapping at him like a second set of hands.

Serone, bruised but still breathing, pulls Terri toward the boat's stern and declares that they will use Terri and Danny as bait to summon a larger anaconda that he claims lives deeper in the system -- a colossal female that will rival any predator. He proclaims that he alone can capture it, that the prize will make him rich beyond measure. He binds Terri's hands and gags her and positions her at the backboard as an offering. He sneers at the others and prepares to wait for the creature he manifests with his voice. But the jungle has its own momentum. A larger, darker presence moves through the water with the silence of an enormous animal that has been following the smaller snake's trail. It appears as a ripple first, then a black mountain that lifts and uncoils against the moonlight. The bigger anaconda ignores the bait and instead targets Serone.

Serone realizes too late that he has miscalculated. The larger snake strikes with astonishing speed and a singular intention. It loops around him, anchors its head under his ribs, and, with an unrelenting series of snaps and thrusts, it takes him into its throat. Serone thrashes, his screams cut short by a wet, suffocating pressure. He claws at the snake's inside, but he is heavy and the reptile muscles its meal inward. The crew watches in a stupefied silence as the hunter becomes prey. The big anaconda swallows Serone full and then, with a slow, obscene grace, slides back into the depths. The sound of his screams lingers at the surface for a beat and then vanishes into the river's indifferent murmur.

Terri, freed by Cale and the remaining crew as they lurch to absorb the loss, stumbles ashore near an abandoned riverside structure, a ruin half-swallowed by vines. She drags herself into the shadow of the shelter, coughing and shaking from cold and shock. Inside, she discovers an astonishing sight: a hollow chamber cradles a nest of pale, oblong eggs and the writhing canopies of dozens of newborn anacondas, their scales gleaming with slime. The hatchlings hiss and coil, sliding toward the dim opening like a tide of living rope. The nest contains the young of the very giant that hunted them. Terri backs out and runs, but the babies surge and chase her, filling the ruined path with their quickened bodies.

At the river's edge Danny fights to the surface after being tumbled down the falls. He coughs like someone who has been underwater too long and kicks toward a boulder where the current eddies. He climbs up, soaked and frantic, and hears Terri's voice crying out from the ruin. He stumbles toward her and finds her scrambling away from the small snakes that strike at her ankles and wrists. Danny moves into a crouch and pins one of the hatchlings beneath his boot, then leaps and grabs for the tail of a larger juvenile that curls like a rope. He braces both hands against cold, wet scales, exerting leverage to hold the serpent in place.

The adult anaconda -- the same that swallowed Serone -- bellows into the air, a low, ominous vibration that rocks the ground. It nears the shoreline in a sinuous glide, its head cresting like a black boulder. Danny realizes that fire is the only thing that will move this behemoth from the shallows. He rips a kerosene lantern from a wrecked crate, splashes the fuel onto frayed canvas, and strikes a match. He presses the flaming material against the coils that wave like tree roots at the waterline. The snake recoils at the heat and the blistered smell, contracts with a hiss, and lashes its tail. But the fire catches the tinder beneath its belly; flames leap along the grass and into the water's reflected skin. The great reptile thrashes, and the combination of flame and violent motion forces it from the bank with a shuddering propulsion. It plunges into the river, and the surface explodes as the volatile fuel ignites across the water. A sheet of fire races outward and envelops the anaconda with heat and flame. The creature thrashes and then collapses beneath a shower of burning oil, its body rolling like a caught log as flames race along its length. A final, gurgling heave forces a plume of oily water into the air before the monster sinks below the scarred, smoking water.

Danny, charred and shaking, releases the tail and collapses to his knees. Terri staggers forward and pulls him into a brutal, grateful embrace. Professor Cale, who has scraped himself together, appears at the ruined doorway with bandaged hands, his breathing ragged but steady. He helps the two survivors steady themselves, checks their wounds, and keeps watch as the river's surface calms to a glassy black. They scan the shoreline for the others. Warren is gone; Mateo's body is claimed by the dark; Gary and Denise lie somewhere downstream, their faces not turning back to them. Serone is beneath the river, deep within a mass of coils. The nest's young slink back into the wreckage, their bellies slick and full, and the ruins stand like a witness to the carnage.

By dawn they patch together a small raft from splintered planks and push off with makeshift paddles. Their clothes are tattered; their faces are drawn with loss and exhaustion. Danny rows; Terri keeps the camera slung at her side though she does not record; Cale sits between them, nursing his still-swollen neck. They drift with the current, following a route that winds through strangler figs and braided channels. As the sun climbs, the indistinct sound of rhythmic drums rises faintly ahead. The water around them slows and widens, and at the bend a clearing opens where a cluster of canoes waits under the trees.

A group of men and women bearing traditional face paintings slide forward in their dugouts. They paddle with compact, practiced strokes and draw alongside the trio. The Shirishamas step ashore, their eyes steady, descending in a patient chorus. They assess the strangers without surprise. A small elder woman approaches and touches Terri's brow, runs her hand along Danny's jaw, then speaks in an unknown language. Their gestures are deliberate and calm. One of the tribe members offers dry cloths and carries the limp bodies of Gary and Denise that float near the bank, setting them gently on the shore. The Shirishamas move with swift, organized motions: they bandage wounds, share sips of bitter herbal infusions, and hoist the survivors to their feet. They do not demand answers; instead they lead Terri, Danny, and Cale into the shade and into the safety of a settlement hidden from anyone who might claim ownership of the land.

As they step into the native village, the camera that Danny has kept safe records their entry for a moment before clicking off. The trio looks back once at the slow ribbon of black water that swallowed so much; they turn away when the Shirishamas beckon them forward. The tribe loads their boats and, with coordinated strokes, guides Terri, Danny, and Cale away from the treacherous stretch of river where men died and snakes ruled. They move like a living wall between the survivors and the jungle's violent expanse. The last shot is of the three drifting downriver under the watchful silence of the rainforest canopy, flanked by the Shirishamas, the river carrying them toward safety and away from the place where the anacondas hold dominion.

The ending of the 2025 film Anaconda shows the surviving friends overcoming the giant anaconda threat after a chaotic and deadly encounter in the Amazon rainforest. Doug, Griff, Claire, and their allies manage to defeat the snake, but not without significant peril and loss. The film closes with the group escaping the jungle, changed by their harrowing experience.

Now, a detailed, scene-by-scene narration of the ending:

As the climax unfolds deep in the Amazon, Doug (Jack Black), Griff (Paul Rudd), Claire (Thandiwe Newton), and their companions find themselves trapped in the jungle with the enormous, deadly anaconda stalking them relentlessly. The group, initially on a lighthearted mission to remake their favorite childhood movie, has been thrust into a life-or-death struggle.

The final sequence begins with the friends setting a trap for the anaconda near a riverbank. They use their limited resources and knowledge gained throughout their ordeal to lure the snake into a vulnerable position. Tension builds as the massive serpent approaches, its movements slow but menacing.

Doug, motivated by a mix of fear and determination, takes a leadership role, coordinating the group's efforts. Griff, despite his usual comedic demeanor, shows unexpected bravery, helping to execute the plan. Claire uses her survival skills to assist in setting the trap and keeping the group focused.

The anaconda strikes, and a fierce battle ensues. The friends use makeshift weapons and teamwork to fend off the snake's attacks. At one point, the anaconda coils around Griff, nearly crushing him, but Doug intervenes just in time, freeing his friend. The struggle is intense, with close calls and moments of desperation.

Eventually, the group manages to wound the anaconda severely, causing it to retreat into the jungle. Exhausted and battered, they realize the immediate danger has passed but understand the jungle still holds many threats.

In the aftermath, the friends gather their belongings and prepare to leave the rainforest. Doug reflects on the journey, acknowledging how the experience has changed them all. Griff cracks a joke, lightening the mood, while Claire looks thoughtfully at the jungle, aware of its power and mystery.

The film ends with the group trekking back to civilization, their bond strengthened by survival and shared trauma. Each main character who participated in the final conflict--Doug, Griff, Claire, and their close allies--survives, though visibly affected by the ordeal. The giant anaconda, the central antagonist, is defeated but leaves a lasting impression on the group.

This ending highlights the transformation of the characters from carefree friends on a nostalgic adventure to resilient survivors facing nature's deadly challenges. It closes the story on a note of survival, friendship, and respect for the wild.

In the 2025 film Anaconda, several characters do die, primarily due to attacks by the giant anaconda and the dangerous environment of the Amazon rainforest. The movie follows a group of friends who go to the Amazon to remake their favorite movie but face deadly threats from a real giant anaconda.

Specific character deaths and their circumstances are as follows:

• The film shows glimpses of the anaconda attacking people, with at least one notable kill moment depicted in the trailer and promotional materials. However, detailed official information about exactly which characters die and the precise circumstances of their deaths has not been fully disclosed in publicly available sources as of now.

• The main characters Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) survive the ordeal, with Jack Black's character notably used as bait to help others escape but remaining alive.

• Other characters such as Claire Simons (Thandiwe Newton), Ana Almeida (Daniela Melchior), Kenny Trent (Steve Zahn), and Santiago Braga (Selton Mello) are part of the group facing the threat, but their fates have not been explicitly detailed in the available summaries or trailers.

• The film involves natural disasters, violent criminals, and the giant snake as threats, implying that deaths may occur from multiple causes, not just the snake.

Because the movie is scheduled for release on December 25, 2025, and detailed plot spoilers including full death lists have not been officially published, the exact list of character deaths, their timing, and detailed circumstances remain largely undisclosed. The film blends horror and comedy, so deaths may be presented with a mix of tension and dark humor.

In summary, yes, characters do die in the 2025 Anaconda film, mostly from the giant snake attacks and jungle dangers, but the full specifics of who dies, when, and how are not yet publicly available. The main leads survive, and the deaths contribute to the film's mix of horror and comedy in a meta-reboot setting.

The 2025 movie titled "Anaconda" does have a post-credits scene. After the main story and credits, there is a substantial mid-credits scene that follows a large time jump, showing where the surviving characters ended up. Additionally, there is a brief scene after the end credits that serves as an Easter egg or teaser, though specific details about the content of these scenes have not been widely detailed in available sources.

This 2025 "Anaconda" is a meta reboot starring Jack Black and Paul Rudd, blending comedy with the creature feature elements of the original 1997 film. The post-credits content likely ties into the film's comedic and adventurous tone, possibly setting up future storylines or providing humorous closure to the characters' fates.

Doug and Griff, both facing midlife crises, are motivated to head into the Amazon rainforest to remake their favorite film from their youth, turning their nostalgic dream into a real adventure.

The arrival of a real giant anaconda turns the comically chaotic film set into a deadly situation, forcing the group to fight for their lives against the snake.

The main characters include Doug McCallister (Jack Black), a wedding videographer; Ronald 'Griff' Griffen Jr. (Paul Rudd), a background actor; Kenny Trent (Steve Zahn), and Claire Simons (Thandiwe Newton), friends of Doug and Griff; Ana Almeida (Daniela Melchior); and Santiago Braga (Selton Mello).

Besides the giant anaconda, the friends face natural disasters and violent criminals while trying to remake their favorite movie in the Amazon rainforest.
