Dungeons & Dragons Sequel Probably Won't Happen Because Of Finances
Jonathan Goldstein says the follow-up was written, but Paramount and Hasbro’s eOne have not decided whether to move ahead after the film’s $205.46 million haul.
- At San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, co-director Jonathan Goldstein confirmed a sequel screenplay for the 2023 film 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' is written, though production remains uncertain due to financial hurdles.
- Although the film received critical acclaim, it underwhelmed financially, grossing $205 million worldwide against an estimated $150 million production budget, which complicates greenlight prospects.
- Complicating matters further are regime changes at production companies involved in recent years, including Lionsgate's acquisition of eOne and Skydance Media's acquisition of Paramount in August 2025.
- Although creators were hired to write the project, Goldstein remains uncertain if it will move forward, even as actor Chris Pine previously expressed confidence a sequel would eventually happen.
- Meanwhile, Goldstein is promoting his upcoming action-comedy 'Mayday' starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh, slated to debut on Apple TV on September 4.
