This is not the first time Gibson and others have talked about a sequel being made to the ultra-successful first film, with Caviezel saying in 2020 that 'The Resurrection of the Christ' movie will be the biggest in 'world history.'

Mel Gibson told Joe Rogan that Jim Caviezel will again be starring as Jesus Christ in his forthcoming film “The Resurrection of the Christ” that will begin filming in 2026.

During an interview that lasted more than two hours on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Gibson told the popular host that he intends to make the long-awaited sequel to his 2004 film “The Passion of the Christ,” and that Caviezel will again star as Our Lord. The film, to be titled “The Resurrection of the Christ,” is set to begin filming in 2026, according to Gibson.

Interesting.

Will there be enough material for a 2 hour movie?
Will there be a lot of speculative "fill in the blanks" like there is with the Chosen?
Will this movie be as successful considering changing demographics (less people are religious now compared to in 2004) and new technology (streaming being more popular than traditional movie theaters).

That's such a shame. 2004 feels like yesterday to me.

Praying for a revival.

It's too bad Mel Gibson cannot submit to the Pope. Otherwise, I admire his faith, even though I have issues with some of his past behavior an comments.
