Last night, THR reported Mel Gibson is attempting to make audiences stop thinking of him as the racist, raging, anti-Semitic, “sugar-tits”-spouting embarrassment he’s become, and return our collective consciousness to a kinder, gentler time, when he was a beloved box office heavy hitter and the director of a phenomenally successful Jesus snuff film. (Plus, there’s a whole Jesus Cinematic Universe just waiting to be exploited, right? Talk about your built-in #brand recognition!) There is certainly another story there, but something about the phrase “Passion of the Christ Sequel” is oddly funny, particularly when you ask the simple question of what you’d even call such a thing. The Passion of the Christ II? Passion of the Christ: Resurrection? Passion 2: You Like Me When I Make These, Right? Well, as a public service (and taking a cue from Film Twitter), we looked at the naming conventions of movie sequels to compile this definitive list of Passion sequel titles. Help yourself, Mel.
