Mel Gibson says Passion of the Christ 2 will be an ‘acid trip’ with de-aged Jim Caviezel
SUMMARY
Mel Gibson has shared new details about the sequel to The Passion of the Christ, titled The Resurrection of the Christ. During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, Gibson revealed that Jim Caviezel would reprise his role as Jesus, using digital de-aging technology to make him appear 20 years younger. The film, which will explore the events following Christ's resurrection, is described by Gibson as being an "acid trip," filled with "some crazy stuff" including scenes depicting the fall of angels and journeys to hell. Gibson and his collaborators, including Randall Wallace and his brother Donal, have written the script, which Gibson hopes to begin filming in 2026. The first film in the series was a massive box office success, grossing over $600 million worldwide.
