They should make a sequel even if half the cast can’t return. Just replace them with backup characters!
It would totally make sense for the only returning characters to be Simon and Doric. I think it would be cool to see them with a new party after a short timeskip between movies. Both would make great leads after a little off-screen character growth, and Edgin and Holga don’t really have a reason to adventure anymore.
The new actors (or original actors playing different characters?) could explore other PC classes we don’t see in the first movie. We’d get to see some more magic. It would be great
If anyone hasn’t seen this movie yet; it’s a treat
Loved it, I’m not a pen and paper DnD guy, only the videogame DnD type of guy and still caught soo many easter eggs and references its insane. Also the movie is super fun and entertaining.
The thing that really impressed me was just how much D&D was in it. Down to being able to easily identify individual spells.
And you can’t just name-drop Szass Tam and not follow through on that…
I watched it with a Larp group which does regular D&D as well, and we spent a good amount of time ID’ing spells, classes, and moments that would make you go “wtf dungeon master‽”
It did Easter eggs and cameos really well in a way that accentuated the story instead of detracting from it the way that the Mario movie did.
It was such an enjoyable piece of cinema. So nice I saw it twice. Breaks my heart that Zack Snyder will be allowed to continue to make over-hyped flops while these folks are stuck in limbo.

That’s a bad-ass quote. Is it from something or an original?

I loved that movie, so like a good D&D campaign, of course it’s up in the air when it’s happening again.
Wasn’t there speculation that the D&D “series” would switch casts and tell a different story every time?
Isn’t this like the 5th DnD movie? I mean the ones before were shockingly bad, but they still exist.
This movie was surprisingly good. I should watch it again. I fucking love the melting bard scene. Kills me
That was the first time in a long time that I was dying in the theater from a comedy scene. Since like, Step Brothers or something, idk, it’s been awhile a movie has made me laugh that hard in a movie theater.
One of the few good game adaptations
That was honestly one of the best movies I’ve seen in quite a long time, I’d definitely love another
Give me more dragons and let them have agency in the plotIt’s a simple adventure movie with likable characters, a good cast, a plot that captivates but is not unnecessarily complex, excellent humour and none of the many references to DnD feel forced at all.
Easy 9/10 imo.
I’m just afraid that Hollywood execs will take exactly the wrong lessons from it, as they usually do. They won’t see it as a successful fantasy adventure movie that underperformed because it came out between Mario and John Wick, but as a failure because it wasn’t mostly a carbon-copy of modern Marvel movies, and trusted its audience even a little bit.
