A sequel to \u201cDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves\u201d has been written, but might never get an official greenlight, according to the original film\u2019s co-writer and co-director Jonathan Goldstein.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ScreenRant <\/a>at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday, Goldstein shared that he was hired to co-write a sequel to his 2023 adaptation of the tabletop game staple, which featured an ensemble cast headed by Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Reg\u00e9-Jean Page and Hugh Grant. However, Goldstein added that he was uncertain if another installment would ever be produced due to \u201cfinancial reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe actually wrote a sequel to \u2018Dungeons & Dragons.\u2019 We were hired to write it,\u201d Goldstein said. \u201cI don\u2019t know, that it will see the light of day for a number of financial reasons. They\u2019re expensive movies to make, but it\u2019d be great fun to do it. We love that cast, and we think we wrote something that fans would like.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite strong reviews, \u201cHonor Among Thieves\u201d was not a box office success when it released in March 2023. The fantasy comedy managed a $205 million global gross \u2014 a theatrical sum that wasn\u2019t enough to recoup the film\u2019s $150 million production budget. However, the film\u2019s reputation has grown in the years since, with the \u201cDungeons & Dragons\u201d property helping it continue to find fans.<\/p>\n

Somewhat complicating matters for a potential sequel are the regime changes that have unfolded at both of the film\u2019s production companies in recent years. Paramount, which co-produced and distributed \u201cHonor Among Thieves,\u201d was acquired by Skydance Media in August 2025. Additionally, the production banner eOne, once a subsidiary of Hasbro (which owns the rights to \u201cDungeons & Dragons\u201d), was acquired by Lionsgate<\/a> in December 2023.<\/p>\n

A \u201cDungeons & Dragons\u201d live-action series was in development for Paramount+, but the streamer nixed its plans for the project in May 2024. The project was reported to have found a new home at Netflix in February 2025.<\/p>\n

Goldstein joined his writing and directing partner John Francis Daley at Comic-Con to promote their upcoming action-comedy \u201cMayday,\u201d a Cold War two-hander starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh. The film is slated to debut on Apple TV on Sept. 4.<\/p>\n
