Vin Diesel Reveals 'The Last Witch Hunter 2' Title & First Plot Details

Taking to Instagram, Vin Diesel shared an image of the cover and first page of The Last Witch Hunter 2 script. Revealing the title of the long-awaited sequel to be Kaulder the Immortal – The Lion’s Oath, the reveal comes with a quote that is no doubt a clue regarding the direction of the follow-up: “Some debts take centuries to pay.”

The first page, meanwhile, finds Diesel’s Kaulder conversing with “Young Dolan,” which likely refers to Michael Caine’s character, the 36th Dolan, a priest who is tasked with assisting Kaulder on his mission to keep tabs on witches. It has already been confirmed that Hollywood icon Michael Caine will come out of retirement to reprise his role in The Last Witch Hunter 2, with his character expected to play a key part in the plot. The introduction then skips forward 80 years. Does this mean Kaulder the Immortal – The Lion’s Oath will de-age Michael Caine for what seems to be a flashback? Probably.

"The Last Witch Hunter has grown since its theatrical release into a global fan favorite, with audiences continuing to discover and rewatch it across every platform over the past decade. That enduring enthusiasm made clear there is an appetite for more stories set in this world. Vin and I have partnered many times over the years, and he is a true force in our industry. I'm thrilled to be reuniting with him as he returns to this iconic role, and excited by how advancements in filmmaking technology now allow us to economically deliver a sequel on an even more ambitious scale."

Vin Diesel has wanted to bring back The Last Witch Hunter for some time, and his wish has finally been granted after Adam Fogelsen, chair of Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group, confirmed recently that a sequel is now in the works thanks to the action fantasy movie’s recent, and surprising, success.
