Overview
- Jonathan Goldstein said at San Diego Comic‑Con on Saturday that he and John Francis Daley were hired to write a direct sequel and that a finished screenplay now exists.
- Paramount has not greenlit the film and Goldstein warned the sequel may never be made for “a number of financial reasons,” citing the high cost of large‑scale fantasy productions.
- The first movie grossed about $205 million worldwide on an estimated $150 million production budget which, after marketing and theater splits, left little room for profit and raised studio concerns.
- Returning cast members have not been confirmed and former Paramount leadership said any sequel would likely require a significantly smaller budget to gain approval.
- The franchise retains strong critical and audience support and Dungeons & Dragons content continues elsewhere with a separate Netflix live‑action series that is not part of the Honor Among Thieves continuity.
