Vin Diesel says The Last Witch Hunter 2 is already being planned

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

Vin Diesel is everyone’s favorite oversharer on Facebook. Dude regularly posts updates and images for his upcoming movies before the studio even gets the chance, but what are they going to do? Say, “You can’t do that, Vin Diesel!” Hell no. Besides, dude has 93 million FB friends. (More than me, FYI.) 

Vin is at it again today, spilling details about THE LAST WITCH HUNTER 2. That’s right, months before the first one is even out, Diesel has revealed Lionsgate is so high on it that they’re prepping the sequel already. Here’s his status update:

So the studio apparently is so excited by the Last Witch Hunter – The Axe and Cross franchise… that they are already commencing on the next one. The first one doesn’t hit theaters until October 23rd, yet they want me to commit and already block out time to film it. As always, I love to hear your feedback…

Guess that bodes well for THE LAST WITCH HUNTER, eh? Here’s the synopsis for that film which, as Vin says, comes out October 23rd.

Five hundred years ago, war raged between humankind and witches, vicious supernatural creatures intent on unleashing the Black Death upon the world. Armies of witch hunters battled the unnatural enemy across the globe, including KAULDER (Vin Diesel), a valiant warrior who managed to slay an all-powerful QUEEN WITCH, decimating her followers in the process. In the moments before her death, the Queen exacted her revenge by cursing Kaulder with immortality, forever separating him from his beloved wife and daughter in the afterlife. Kaulder has spent centuries hunting down rogue witches, all the while yearning for his long-lost loved ones.

Today, he is the only one of his kind–the last witch hunter. With the help of FATHER DOLAN, a Catholic priest, and a mystical arsenal hidden beneath New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral, he continues to pursue the renegades and outlaws who endanger humanity. Chief among their adversaries is BELIAL, a powerful rebel witch who Kaulder believes has found a way to restore the Queen Witch to power and reignite her campaign to destroy the human world.

With the help of CHLOE, a goodhearted young witch, Kaulder sets out to stop Belial before he can set his plan in motion, but allies in unexpected places keep the evil witch one step ahead in a cunning cat-and-mouse pursuit that will determine the survival of the human race.
