“I have ideas about how to do that…I’ve been thinking about it for a long time,” Gibson added, before admitting that “it’s not going to be easy. It’s going to require a lot of planning, and I’m not wholly sure I can pull it off, to tell you the truth. It’s really, super ambitious, but I’ll take a crack at it, because that’s what you got to do.”
In addition to Caviezel, IMDb lists Maia Morgenstern, who played Mary in the original film, and Francesco De Vito, who played Peter, as returning cast members.
In 2023, Caviezel told Shawn Ryan that he believes “The Passion of the Christ” sequel will be “the biggest film in history.”
“The Passion of the Christ” was nominated for three Academy Awards—Best Cinematography, Best Makeup, and Best Original Score—but failed to record a win.
