Cast

Production

In August 2025, it was reported that The Resurrection of the Christ would be split into two parts, with the first installment releasing in March 2027. [1] By October, Jim Caviezel and Monica Bellucci had exited the film, with their roles currently being recast. [2] Days later, it was announced that the entire cast of the original movie would be replaced due to the cost of using de-aging CGI special effects. Finnish actor Jaakko Ohtonen was cast as Jesus, replacing Caviezel; Mariela Garriga as Mary Magdalene, replacing Belucci; Kasia Smutniak as Mary (mother of Jesus), replacing Maia Morgenstern; Pier Luigi Pasino as Peter, replacing Francesco De Vito; and Riccardo Scamarcio as Pontius Pilate, replacing Hristo Naumov Shopov; while Rupert Everett was cast in an undisclosed role. [3]

Filming

Principal photography began on October 6, 2025. The film will be shot entirely at Cinecittà Studios in Rome; and will be completed simultaneously with Part One. [4] [5]

Release

The Resurrection of the Christ: Part Two is scheduled to be released in the United States on May 6, 2027. [1]
