Overview
- Jonathan Goldstein said at San Diego Comic‑Con that he and John Francis Daley were hired to write a sequel and have completed a screenplay.
- The original film earned about $205 million worldwide against an estimated $150 million production budget, a result many studios view as insufficient to justify another expensive fantasy tentpole.
- Paramount’s role in the film and the wider rights picture have changed since 2023, including the sale of eOne to Lionsgate and later corporate transactions that complicate who would finance and release a sequel.
- Goldstein and Daley are pursuing other projects, including reported work on a new Star Trek film, reducing the immediacy of any return to the Dungeons & Dragons franchise.
- Separate Dungeons & Dragons adaptations continue to move forward on other platforms, leaving the completed sequel script without a green light and no set timeline for reconsideration.
