Mel Gibson Plans Ambitious Sequel to 'The Passion of the Christ'

Titled 'The Resurrection of the Christ,' the film will explore themes of resurrection, the fall of angels, and spiritual realms, with production potentially starting in 2026.

Mel Gibson revealed on Joe Rogan Experience podcast that the sequel will be titled 'The Resurrection of the Christ' and focus on Jesus' resurrection and related spiritual events.
Jim Caviezel is set to reprise his role as Jesus, with plans to use CGI de-aging to address the 20-year gap since the original film's release.
The script, co-written by Gibson, his brother Donal, and Randall Wallace, has been described as an 'acid trip' due to its ambitious and unconventional narrative structure.
The storyline will reportedly cover events ranging from the fall of the angels to the death of the last apostle, with depictions of realms like Hell and Sheol.
Gibson hopes to begin production in 2026, though no official start date has been confirmed, citing the project's complexity and extensive planning requirements.
