According to IMDB, the production is development and the preliminary release date has now been moved up to 2022, delayed by a year due to coronavirus.
The name of the sequel is “Passion of the Christ: Resurrection.”
Jim Caviezel will be returning as Jesus Christ, in addition to many other actors reprising their roles from Mel Gibson’s blockbuster 2004 movie, Passion of the Christ.
In March 2020, during an interview with Fox News, Jim Caviezel states that Mel Gibson was on the fifth draft of the script.
In September 2020, Caviezel told Breitbart News that he had received a third draft of the script (we’re not sure how it went from fifth to third, or if he simply misspoke). He also said, “It’s going to be the biggest film in world history.”
