Mel Gibson’s return to biblical cinema is underway with The Resurrection of the Christ, the long-anticipated sequel to his 2004 epic The Passion of the Christ. This new film, which begins filming in 2026, promises to transcend a straightforward retelling of the Resurrection, instead offering a sweeping, supernatural vision of Christ’s victory over death.
Gibson has described it as an exploration of “another realm” – beginning with the exile of the demons from heaven’s court, descending into hell, and culminating in the glory of the Resurrection.
