Vin Diesel teases Last Witch Hunter 2… for some reason

Earlier today we passed along word that Vin Diesel is ready to roll once again as Riddick in David Twohy's RIDDICK 4: FURYA. And now we're passing along word that Diesel is teasing a sequel to Breck Eisner's THE LAST WITCH HUNTER with Elijah Wood, Rose Leslie, & Michael Caine. 

Not sure why he'd bother. But still.

Regarding THE LAST WITCH HUNTER 2 Diesel writes:

Before entering the next character and film project… so much to be excited about… Fast continuation, Xander Cage, Riddick… Groot. Not to mention the possibilities of Witch Hunter and the follow up to Bloodshot. 

Again, 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.

THE LAST WITCH HUNTER was directed by Breck Eisner from a screenplay written by Cory Goodman, Matt Sazama, and Burk Sharpless. Diesel produced with Bernie Goldmann and Mark Canton. Diesel's co-stars included Elijah Wood, Rose Leslie, Julie Engelbrecht, and Michael Caine.

Summit Entertainment released it back on October 23, 2015. BUY IT HERE.
