It feels like sequels are both nowhere and everywhere these days. While we’re in the era of the franchise, studios are hesitant to give second installments to movies that weren’t monster hits or part of a cinematic universe. But there are exceptions; a recent sequel announcement is giving a forgotten movie a new lease on life, and coaxing a 92-year-old star out of retirement in the process.
According to Deadline, Lionsgate has greenlit a sequel to the 2015 Vin Diesel movie The Last Witch Hunter, a straightforward fantasy action thriller inspired by Diesel’s own Dungeons & Dragons campaigns. The Fast and the Furious star played Kaulder, an immortal witch hunter who must save the world from a magical plague. Apparently, a new threat has emerged a decade later.
