The rather popular but moderately profitable film Dungeons & Dragons: Thieves’ Honor could well be entitled to a sequel, but that would mainly depend on one condition.
In any case, this is what Chris Pine, who plays the bard Edgin Darvis in the latest Dungeons & Dragons film, would have indicated. This was a great success and gathered many fans, although obviously not a lot of money. The question of a sequel nevertheless arises seriously, but is not yet fully guaranteed.
A Dungeons & Dragons 2 planned, but the die has not yet been cast
Released last year, Dungeons & Dragons: Thieves’ Honor enjoyed some critical success, but unfortunately did not live up to expectations from a commercial point of view. In the 2000s, a trilogy tried to transcribe the world of the iconic role-playing game into cinema… with relative success. Wizards of the Coast abandoned the idea for a long time, at the risk of suffering another critical failure. The latest film turned out to be a pleasant surprise. More resources, humor, a solid and passionate cast who themselves indulged in a few games of D&D, the right ingredients were there. The box office, however, was not of the same opinion.
The film, however, potentially opened the door to a sequel. Chris Pine, the main actor of Thieves’ Honor, recently spoke about this subject. According to him, the test of success for such a thing to happen should be achievable. But this would depend above all on a way to find enough gold coins to finance it. “ There’s a good chance they’ll make another Dungeons & Dragons movie. If they can find a financial way to make it happen, they will “.
Given the enormous popularity of Dungeons & Dragons thanks in particular to Baldur’s Gate 3 or current play channels like Critical Role or La Bonne Auberge among us, as well as the critical success of the first film, such a future seems more than possible. Now it remains for the producers to roll the dice to see how many gold coins they can find in their coffers to finance the project.
