Confirmed: The Last Witch Hunter 2 in the works

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Back in December, Vin Diesel teased a sequel to Breck Eisner's THE LAST WITCH HUNTER with Elijah Wood, Rose Leslie, & Michael Caine was in the works. And today the big man confirmed the news saying:

Lionsgate is coming and saying, ‘We’re putting a writer on for the next one.’ That’s kinda cool! … And this is just recent, by the way. But it’s funny that you mentioned Last Witch Hunter because I’m in a meeting with Lionsgate and they’re actively creating the sequel.

I'm not sure why Diesel is teasing more WITCH HUNTER as the original film only holds a 17% on Rotten Tomatoes with a Critics Consensus that reads: "Grim, plodding, and an overall ill fit for Vin Diesel's particular charms, The Last Witch Hunter will bore and/or confuse all but the least demanding action-fantasy fans." The box-office wasn't much better. Are YOU excited for more witch-hunting with Vin Diesel? Let us know below. 

All the same, THE LAST WITCH HUNTER followed this synopsis:

The modern world holds many secrets, the most astounding being that witches still live among us. Centuries ago, Kaulder (Vin Diesel) managed to slay the all-powerful Witch Queen, decimating her followers in the process. Before her death, she cursed the valiant warrior with her own immortality, separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife. Her resurrection now threatens the survival of the human race as Kaulder, the only one of his kind remaining, faces her vengeful wrath.
