If you loved the 2023 D&D heist movie and keep refreshing for a sequel greenlight, here is the actual status: a script exists, the original filmmakers wrote it, and the people who would make it still sound unsure it gets filmed.
What Jonathan Goldstein confirmed
At San Diego Comic-Con 2026, while promoting the upcoming Apple TV film Mayday, co-writer and co-director Jonathan Goldstein said he and his collaborators were hired to write a sequel to Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
His update, in his own words:
"We actually wrote a sequel to Dungeons and Dragons. We were hired to write it. I don't know that it will see the light of day for a number of financial reasons. They're expensive movies to make, but it'd be great fun to do it. We love that cast, and we think we wrote something that fans would like."
That is the whole reliable newsbeat. Script: yes. Greenlight: not confirmed. Tone from the director: hopeful and doubtful at the same time.
What is confirmed vs not confirmed
Confirmed
A sequel screenplay was commissioned and written
Goldstein wants to do it and likes what they wrote for the cast
The first film remains the live-action baseline for this party (Chris Pine, Michelle Rodriguez, Regé-Jean Page, Justice Smith, Sophia Lillis, Hugh Grant, and company)
Not confirmed
A production start date
A returning cast deal sheet for part two
A studio public commitment to fund the budget Goldstein is worried about
Any plot details from that sequel script
Treat social wishcasting as noise until a studio dates it or a filmmaker says cameras are rolling.
Why the money talk keeps killing the vibe
Honor Among Thieves was a critics-and-audience favorite that still had a soft theatrical math problem. It landed around $205 to $208 million worldwide against a reported budget near $150 million, and it opened into a brutal spring corridor (including the Super Mario Bros. Movie wave). Studios remember the P&L more than the Rotten Tomatoes screenshot.
There is also ownership friction around the property over the last few years (Paramount distribution, Hasbro rights history, production-company reshuffles). None of that automatically kills a sequel, but it makes an expensive fantasy comedy harder to greenlight without a cheaper plan.
Rewatch the first movie while you wait
If you never saw it, or only half-watched it on a laptop, this is the trailer that sold the tone: tabletop spirit, heist plotting, and a party that actually feels like a party. The sequel update does not change where to find the first film. It is still the thing you can watch today while the sequel script sits in limbo.
Next step: stream or buy Honor Among Thieves, then follow the Honor Among Thieves hub for any real greenlight. Until then, assume the sequel is written, not scheduled.
