Due to its lukewarm box-office performances and poor reviews, uncertainty still surrounds the possibility of a sequel. Also, The Last Witch Hunter was released in 2015.
Vin Diesel, particularly famous for his role in the never-ending franchise of Fast and Furious, has a knack for featuring in movie sequels consistently. In the past, he has a history of reviving and resurrecting dead and forgotten franchises like Riddick and xXx.

‘The Last Witch Hunter‘ Cast: Will the audience get to see someone new?
In the first installment, Vin Diesel starred in the lead role as Kaulder, the warrior responsible for killing the Witch Queen (Julie Engelbrecht) 800 years ago. Kaulder becomes an immortal warrior, as this was the curse bestowed upon him by the Witch Queen. The movie is centered around Kaulder’s Legacy, working for Axe and Cross, a group of warriors responsible for killing and stopping the witches. Michael Caine stars as Dolan, the 36th, who attacks Kaulder, prompting him to uncover the person behind the attack.
The movie’s conclusion hinted at the emerging threats of a new evil on the land, and this has kept enough potency amongst the audience’s eagerness to anticipate what will come next. Thus, the audience is still eager and buzzing to know how Kaulder will keep fighting and continuing his battles, emphasizing the depth of character development in the upcoming sequel.
What ‘The Last Witch Hunter 2 ‘Story Could Unveil?
Developing and continuing the storyline from the first installment, The Last Witch Hunter 2 is likely to see the saga of Kaulder and expand the universe by adding new characters and backstories. The big question that the audience has anticipated is whether Kaulder will be able to kill the Witch Queen. If this happens, Kaulder will avenge the infinite loss of his wife and daughter by finally getting revenge for the curse bestowed upon him by the Witch Queen.
On the contrary, Kaulder would be giving up his immortality in return. The Last Witch Hunter 2 will certainly have to explore whether Kaulder’s heart can be separated from the fate of the Witch Queen’s heart.
Lastly, Vin Diesel has revived dead franchises before….
Despite all the hurdles, circumstances, budget issues, and weak financials of the first movie, Vin Diesel isn’t one of those who simply give up on the series he is passionately fond of. He has resurrected the character of Riddick and brought Xander Cage back to the screen, so it could be certain that Vin Diesel won’t be budging on this and will back out easily this time.
