Dungeons and Dragons 2 is still moving forward with a finished script, but it needs a new studio

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

A sequel to the 2023 film Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves remains in development but lacks a production partner. Co‑director John Francis Daley confirmed on The Discourse Podcast that Hasbro supports the project, yet Paramount has dropped the sequel after the first film earned $205 million on a $150 million budget, despite a 91% Rotten Tomatoes rating. Daley praised the finished script and hopes a new studio will bring it to fruition. The original movie follows a bard, a barbarian, and a diverse crew on a quest for a powerful relic.

💡 Why It Matters

  • · The stalled sequel underscores the high cost and financial risk of adapting the Dungeons & Dragons franchise, a trend that could reshape how studios approach large‑budget fantasy projects.
