In June 2016, writer Randall Wallace stated that he and Mel Gibson had begun work on a sequel to The Passion of the Christ (2004) which will focus on the resurrection of Jesus, and the events surrounding the resurrection.[1] In 2018, Jim Caviezel said that Gibson had sent him the third draft of the screenplay, announcing his intentions to reprise his role as Jesus Christ.[2][3] In 2020, Caviezel said that it would be titled The Passion of the Christ: Resurrection and predicted, "It's going to be the biggest film in world history".[4]

In July 2023, Gibson stated the sequel is "coming soon", and that he has two versions of the script that he is working on, saying "one of them is a very structured and very strong script and kind of more what one should expect and the other is like an acid trip".[5] In September 2024, while promoting Monster Summer (2024), Gibson adressed concerns on how he would make believable that three days have passed in-universe in the film given Caviezel's aging since 2004, assuring that he has ways to deal with that peculiar set of problems, thinking he has a solution for it. Kofi Outlaw of ComicBook.com speculated on if Gibson will make use of de-aging technology to solve the issue and acknowledged that in addition to Caviezel, other actors and their characters like Maia Morgenstern as Mary, Monica Bellucci as Mary Magdalene and Francesco De Vito as Saint Peter would either have to be de-aged or recast, the latter seeming like a necessity for John the Apostle, as Christo Jivkov passed away in 2023.[6]

Filming

[edit]

Principal photography is scheduled to begin in early 2025, in Italy.[7]
