Actor Sophia Lillis, known for her role in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, has shared her thoughts on the potential for a sequel to the film adaptation of the popular tabletop game. In an interview with IndieWire, Lillis expressed her interest in reprising her role as Doric in Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 2, if such a sequel were to happen. While no firm plans have been made for the continuation of the story, Lillis is open to the possibility of returning for a sequel.
I'm not sure, I have a feeling. It was enjoyable to work on, and maybe there will be a sequel, but I believe the current one stands well on its own. However, I have limited knowledge on the matter, just like you. I wish I had more information, but for now, it's uncertain.
Many things are uncertain at the moment... it's quite strange because I'm involved in several projects, yet none of them have financial backing.
Will Honor Among Thieves 2 Actually Happen?
Lillis is not alone in wanting to see the sequel of Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Recently, Paramount CEO Brian Robbins expressed the possibility of a sequel, but at a reduced budget. The first film had a budget of $150 million but performed poorly at the box office, earning only $208 million during its theatrical run.
If a sequel for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves does materialize, it could explore another quest with Edgin, Doric, and other original party members. However, considering the disappointing box office results of the first installment, the sequel would need to have a smaller scale in order to be financially viable. Despite receiving praise from both critics and audiences, the sequel may have to reduce the use of extensive CGI action scenes.
The possibility of a sequel for "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves 2" is still open, and one potential way to work around a limited budget is by emphasizing comedy. The first installment showcased humorous interactions among the characters, making a sequel enjoyable even with a smaller financial allocation.
