Chris Pine Expresses Confidence in the Possibility of a Dungeons And Dragons Sequel
Dungeons and Dragons star, Chris Pine, expresses optimism for a sequel, confidently stating his desire to reprise his role as bard Edwin Davis in another thrilling movie
Chris Pine is confident that a sequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves might be on the horizon. The actor, who played bard Edgin Darvis in the fantasy film, expressed his interest in returning for another adventure. During an interview with GamesRadar, Pine acknowledged the rumors surrounding a potential Dungeons & Dragons 2, stating that while he doesn't have any concrete information, he has a strong feeling that the sequel is likely to materialize.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves had a successful opening, earning $72 million at the global box office this year. However, despite its initial success, the fantasy film struggled to meet expectations, making $208 million against a reported budget of $150 million. This financial dilemma could pose challenges for Paramount in considering a sequel.
For those who haven't seen the movie, Our Website interviewed directors Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley about their approach in making Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves accessible to newcomers. The film, which has received positive reviews, became available on Paramount+ in May and can now be streamed on Amazon Prime. In addition to Chris Pine, the talented cast includes Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, and Hugh Grant.
There is reportedly a Dungeons & Dragons TV series in the works at Paramount+, though specific details aren't known yet.
Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about the possibility of a Dungeons and Dragons sequel. On one hand, I enjoyed the first movie and would love to see more of the characters and their adventures. The world of Dungeons and Dragons is rich and full of potential, and I think there's a lot more that could be explored in a sequel.
On the other hand, I'm not sure if the first movie was successful enough to warrant a sequel. It didn't do particularly well at the box office, and the reviews were mixed. I'm worried that a sequel might not be able to recoup its costs, and that it could damage the franchise.
Ultimately, I think the decision of whether or not to make a sequel should come down to the fans. If there's enough demand for a sequel, then I think Paramount should go ahead and make it. However, if the fans aren't interested, then I think it's best to leave the franchise alone.
