The Last Witch Hunter is getting a sequel ten years after its release, and Vin Diesel is returning as Kaulder. Yes, the titular immortal is indeed not dead. Deadline reports that Lionsgate and Diesel’s One Race Films are teaming up for the project. There’s no final deal quite yet, but apparently Michael Caine will also return for The Last Witch Hunter sequel to reprise his role as Dolan.
“The Last Witch Hunter has grown since its theatrical release into a global fan favorite, with audiences continuing to discover and re-watch it across every platform over the past decade,” Adam Fogelson, chair of Lionsgate’s Motion Picture Group, told Deadline. “That enduring enthusiasm made clear there is an appetite for more stories set in this world. Vin and I have partnered many times over the years, and he is a true force in our industry. I’m thrilled to be reuniting with him as he returns to this iconic role, and excited by how advancements in filmmaking technology now allow us to economically deliver a sequel on an even more ambitious scale.”
Vin Diesel has done enough for family, I guess. And while I do hope he rocks some epic clothes and maybe a beard for a more grizzled appearance, I am not down with hunting witches. Leave them alone! As more details arise, we are sure that Vin Diesel will tell us about it on his Instagram page. If he ever decided to leave the acting world, he’d make a pretty good journalist because he loves to dish out news.
