Jim Caviezel Will NOT be Returning as Jesus in ‘The Passion of the Christ’ Sequel
Actor Jim Caviezel will not be returning to play the role of Jesus in the upcoming ‘Passion of the Christ’ sequel, according to Page Six and confirmed by the Hollywood Reporter.
The Resurrection of Christ has been in development hell for more than two decades, with Cavizezel frequently expressing his intention and eagerness to return to the role over the years. However, neither he nor Monica Bellucci, who played Mary Magdalene, will be returning, and instead will be recast.
Currently in pre-production, Lionsgate plans to release the film in two parts, with the first scheduled for release in 2027.
Released in 2004 by Director Mel Gibson, the original film grossed 600M worldwide on a $30M budget. It received a mixed response within the Christian community, with many praising it and even using it as an outreach tool, and others attending showings to hand out tracts against it, railing against it for it’s explicit Roman Catholic theology, the inclusion of that weird little demon baby, and the fact that it breaks the second commandment.
While the first film covered the 12 hours leading up to his death, the sequel is expected to cover the days after his death, intercut with scenes from Jesus in Hell and the fall of Lucifer. Gibson previously noted:
It is such a massive undertaking that you can’t do it lightly and you can’t do it quickly. You have to really consider what it is that you need to show in order to be poignant. It can’t be linear; you have to have many things to juxtapose against one another even from different time periods in order to illustrate what something means in a more full way. And I think it’s going to be a real jigsaw puzzle to do.
And I have two scripts right, and one of them is very structured and a very strong script and kind of more what you’d expect. And the other is like an acid trip and because you’re going into other realms and stuff. I mean you’re in hell.. It’s like, you know, you’re watching the angels fall..”
Gibson also told Joe Rogan on his recent podcast appearance that the film would conclude with the death of the last apostle.
[The script is] an acid trip. I’ve never read anything like it. There’s some crazy stuff. In order to tell the story properly you have to start with the fall of the angels. You’re in another realm. You need to go Hell. You need to go to Sheol.
You got to have [Satan]s] origin. I have ideas about how to do that and how to evoke things about to depict that. I’ve been thinking about that for a long time. It’s going to require a lot of planning. I’m not sure I can pull it off. It’s super ambitious, but I’m going to take a crack at it … It’s about trying to find a way in that’s not cheesy or obvious. It’s almost like a magic trick. [The story] goes from the fall of the angels to the death of the last apostle.
