THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST SEQUEL RESURRECTION II:
Mel Gibson Will Release the Sequel to “The Passion” on Christ’s “Resurrection” in 2027: This Is What Is Known So Far:
Mel Gibson’s “The Resurrection of the Christ” will be released by Lionsgate in two parts, with Part One set for release on Good Friday, March 26, 2027, and Part Two slated for 40 days after its opening weekend on Ascension Day, Thursday, May 6, 2027, the studio announced Tuesday.

“The Resurrection of the Christ” Parts One and Two are Gibson’s follow-ups to his landmark film “The Passion of the Christ,” which until last year was the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time domestically. “The Passion of the Christ” debuted in 2004 to an opening weekend of $83 million on its way to taking in $370 million in North American theaters and more than $610 million globally off a $30 million production budget.

“The Resurrection of the Christ” Parts One and Two will be produced by Gibson and his Icon Productions partner Bruce Davey.
Mel Gibson’s new film project, on Jesus’ “Resurrection,” brings together several actors of the original cast of “The Passion of Christ”: Jim Caviezel, Maia Morgenstern and Francesco De Vito. The film will be shot in Israel, Morocco and Italy. “Resurrection” will show events that occurred between the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus, the intrigues, Herod’s Palace and events that happened in Jerusalem during the Sunday of the Resurrection. The film’s release is planned for 2027. The production will be filmed with special events, such as the Fall of the Angels and scenes in Hell. Mel Gibson said that his new film requires entering in “other realms” and “dimensions.” “It cannot be lineal. It’s necessary to have many things juxtaposing each other, including of different times.”
“The Passion of Christ,” released in 2004, focused on the last hours of Jesus Christ’s life on earth. Gibson directed that film, produced it, acted in it and financed a good part of the production. The soundtrack used Aramaic, Latin and Hebrew with subtitles, to give greater authenticity to the narration, said Gibson.
