Gibson described the sequels as “biblical noir meets action thriller,” adding, “I wanted to explore the missing time between Jesus rising from the dead and him ascending into heaven, which I assume involved swordfights, parkour, and blowing up several Pharisee drug labs. Among other things.”

Twenty-one years after the original film, 'The Passion of the Christ' is getting an official sequel from controversial director, Mel Gibson.

"Part One" will hit theaters on Good Friday, March 26, 2027 and Part Two will arrive on Ascension Day, May 6, 2027.
