Thus, though fans may have found KH Studio’s Priest 2 trailer interesting, it is purely for entertainment. Besides, it does not confirm that the 2011 movie is getting a sequel anytime soon.
Will Tom Hardy appear in Priest 2 in 2025?
There has been no official news regarding Tom Hardy’s appearance in Priest 2.
Whispers of a sequel to the action-horror flick have been gaining traction online for quite some time. However, the writers and producers have not made any official updates regarding the sequel. Hence, whether Priest 2 will go into development soon and if it will bring Tom Hardy aboard remains a mystery as of writing.
Given the first film’s average box office performance and heavy criticism from critics, the makers could also be skeptical about continuing the story in a sequel. Albeit, they could still choose to make a second film in the future if they have a suitable concept in hand. But for now, fans can assume that Priest 2 will not be arriving anytime soon.
