In July 2023, Caviezel commented on the sequel: "It will be the biggest movie in history. It could also be two parts, possibly three. But probably two."
Hell and fallen angels
Mel Gibson is also involved again and told "People":"It's going to be huge and it's not a linear narrative. It's not just about the resurrection, it's also about what happens in the future, the past and other kingdoms - it's a bit science fiction."
According to Gibson, it will show hell and how angels will fall, describing it as a "drug trip". Some things he couldn't say up front, he wanted to shock the audience.
Actor and director Mel Gibson is still considered a controversial personality. In the past, the American has repeatedly attracted attention for his outspoken anti-Semitism, racism and misogyny. He withdrew from the film business for many years.
