Mel Gibson’s long-awaited sequel to “The Passion of the Christ” will be a two-movie cinematic event dubbed “The Resurrection of the Christ Parts One and Two,” headed for screens in 2027, Newsmax has confirmed exclusively.

“Part One” of Gibson’s sequel is to be released on March 26, 2027, which is Good Friday, the Christian holiday marking the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. “Part Two” of Gibson’s epic will likely open 40 days later on May 6, Ascension Day, which marks Christ’s ascent into heaven. 

The project might also include a rerelease of the original 2004 film, perhaps as early as Easter 2026, though details are still being worked out. Lionsgate, which is distributing “Resurrection,” declined to comment.
