Guess Who’s Back in the Witch-Hunting Game?

So, you’re thinking of Vin Diesel and instantly imagining him racing cars in the latest Fast & Furious movie, right? Well, shift gears because we’ve got some news that’ll leave you scratching your head! It looks like a sequel to the 2015 flick The Last Witch Hunter, which honestly flopped harder than a fish out of water, is officially in the works. Let’s throw some confetti for The Last Witch Hunter 2: The Lion’s Oath, expected to hit our screens by 2026!

Vin Diesel Celebrates a Decade!

Our favorite immortal knight, Kaulder (played by Diesel himself), just dropped a little nugget of joy on his Instagram! He’s celebrating ten whole years since we first met him, saying, “Ten year anniversary! A decade ago, this weekend, Kaulder was first introduced… this year you have resurrected him….” Yes, you heard it right, folks—Kaulder’s coming back!

Wait, This Movie Ain’t Dead?!

Now, if you’re as bewildered as we are about this sequel happening a decade after its not-so-spectacular box office showing, then you’re in for a treat. It turns out that poor theater numbers didn’t stop Lionsgate from getting this movie off the ground. Nope! Apparently, its popularity in the streaming realm did the trick. So if you streamed it on any platform, boom—you’re part of the reason we’re getting this sequel! Congrats… or sorry?

Fans to the Rescue!

Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, had some wise words to share: “The Last Witch Hunter has grown since its theatrical release into a global fan favorite, with audiences continuing to discover and rewatch it across every platform over the past decade.” It seems that our streaming habits have created a hunger for more witchy tales in this world. Well, who knew?

Will Michael Caine Come Out of Retirement?

And guess what? Sir Michael Caine might just be brushing off his retirement slippers to reprise his role as the 36th Dolan! He’s only been off the acting circuit for two years, and at 92 years old with 174 acting gigs under his belt, it’s safe to say he deserves a little break. But hey, now he’s flirting with a return to the magical madness!

Taking Risks with $90 Million!

The entertainment biz is a wild ride, but you better believe Lionsgate wouldn’t splash around a rumored $90 million for a sequel if they thought it’d tank. Meanwhile, over at Universal, Fast X: Part 2 is having its own development drama, so why not let Diesel show off his moves in the meantime? Who knows what kind of craziness is in store for us!
