Original stars of The Passion of the Christ, Jim Caviezel and Monica Bellucci, are not returning for the two-part sequel, The Resurrection of the Christ.
Lionsgate is set to release the two-film project The Resurrection of the Christ theatrically in 2027, with the production aiming to begin soon in Rome. Key roles will be recast for the new movies, as Caviezel will not reprise the titular part of Jesus, while Monica Bellucci also won’t return as Mary Magdalene.
