Win Diesel built his career in participating in different franchises, preferring something and then return to the already familiar roles, instead of devoting himself to single projects. Not least, this is due to the fact that the acting work of diesel outside the franchises usually do not have much success among the audience and critics. One such projects became a fantasy fighter "Last Witch Hunter" (2015). This film was supposed to put the beginning of a new franchise led by Diesel, but at the box office the blockbuster with a budget of $ 90 million turned into a failure.
Despite this, in a fresh interview with Collider, Diesel said that Sikvel was officially in development:
When the "the last witch hunter" went to the screens and failed to become a holy hiring, then in the old memory I want to say myself: "Well, probably, I'd rather focus on something else." But these days are surprising that the films themselves find you ... When people tell me that they liked the Witch Hunter and they would like Michael Kane and I appear in another film, I can only exclaim: "Wow! " I recently turned the studio Lionsgate with the words: "We are engaged in a scenario for the next part ..." I wonder what you mentioned the "last witch hunter", because Lionsgate is really actively working on Sixel. "
Perhaps many viewers generally forgot about the existence of such a film as "the last witch hunter", so the news about the launch of the second part has become a surprise. Although it is possible that in some narrow circles this picture is really popular. Boxing office of the second part will show whether the decision will justify itself to revive this project.
