D&D Movie/TV Chris Pine tells Gamesradar+ he's "pretty confident" Honor Among Thieves sequel will happen

[UngainlyTitan]

My bet is it’ll be Baldur’s Gate.

I would love an BG movie or an animated series.

A direct sequel would seem to be related to Xenk or Sas Tam. Every other thread seems to be tied off

Yeah, when Szass Tam first showed up in the movie, I thought there might be plans afoot to set him up as a BBEG across a series of films.

As much as everybody loves Regé-Jean Page, I think it would be a real challenge to tell a satisfying story with Xenk as the main protagonist.

If they can get the actor I’d bet we’d at least see him again.

Oh yeah. It would be a delight to see Regé-Jean play Xenk again.

I just think the character works better as a supporting character than as a lead, you know? I mean, Xenk is just a little too straight-laced / serious / literal, you know? He's also just a little too good at everything. He's a bit of a Gary Stu. It's all played for laughs in Honor Among Thieves because he's got the other characters to contrast with - plus he's only in part of the film. I think it would be tricky to make Xenk work as the lead through a whole film.

Xenk v. Tam would be pretty easy

Xenk v. Tam would be pretty easy

Maybe, but it would be tonally very different from Honor Among Thieves. More Captain America than Guardians of the Galaxy.

Oh yea. I agree.

Except something genius could make it work but it would be a very different kind of movie, I think.

 

[DarkCrisis]

Same actors, different characters.

And at one point someone says something like: "Remember when we ran away from that Red Dragon in the mines?" and some else says "That wasn't us."

I mean, Tam is ultimately responsible for killing the wife from the first movie...and now the Bard has his heroic groove back.
