Comment on The Passion of The Christ sequel to reportedly start filming in 2025

Jesus 2: The Return of the Messiah.

Gibson even gave a glimpse at plot details in 2022, when he suggested that his script for the movie was less grounded than the first film, which got a lot of its appeal from being a straightforward—if brutally violent—depiction of the story of Christ. “That’s kind of getting a little sci-fi out there,” Gibson noted of his scripts, saying the film will partially take place in “the past and in other realms.”

That sounds like there is a lot of potential for this to go wildly off the rails.

Kind of hope it gets the Rambo 2 treatment. Like the first one is all about his persecution at the hands of a corrupt authority, but in the second one he’s just slaughtering enemy soldiers with a grenade launcher.

  “When in Rome… kill Romans!”

  I was hoping for more of a Terminator style Jesus, you know?

  I dunno man. That scene near the end of 1 when he’s talking about who he was and who he is now? That shit hits.

  I’ve read a book like that although there were no granades and it took place in middle ages. It sucked badly. I don’t think it’s likely for writer to tackle this without being a far right nutjob.

Given the director/writer/producer is such a laid back, grounded and subtle person, I don’t know why you’d think that.

  Yeah, I may have been understating how batshit this could get.
