The Resurrection of the Christ: Part Two is an upcoming American epic biblical drama film co-written, produced, and directed by Mel Gibson from a script he co-wrote with Randall Wallace, and based on the story he wrote with his brother Donal Gibson and Wallace.

Cast

In August 2025, it was reported that The Resurrection of the Christ would be split into two parts, with the first installment releasing in March 2027.^[1] By October, Jim Caviezel and Monica Bellucci had exited the film, with their roles currently being recast.^[2] Days later, it was announced that the entire cast of the original movie would be replaced due to the cost of using de-aging CGI special effects. Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen was cast as Jesus, replacing Caviezel; Mariela Garriga as Mary Magdalene, replacing Belucci; Kasia Smutniak as Mary (mother of Jesus), replacing Maia Morgenstern; Pier Luigi Pasino as Peter, replacing Francesco De Vito; and Riccardo Scamarcio as Pontius Pilate, replacing Hristo Naumov Shopov; while Rupert Everett was cast in an undisclosed role.^[3]

Principal photography began on October 6, 2025. The film will be shot entirely at Cinecittà Studios in Rome; and will be completed simultaneously with Part One.^[4]^[5]

The Resurrection of the Christ: Part Two is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 6, 2027.^[1]
