Part 8/12:
In addition to the dynamic change for Jesus, other casting decisions have been revealed. Mariela Garia, a Cuban actress known for her role in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, will portray Mary Magdalene, replacing Monica Bellucci from the original. The film also features a range of Italian and European actors whose names are less recognizable but expected to bring authenticity to the production.
Furthermore, Jim Caviezel’s burgeoning acting career has taken new directions. Currently, he’s set to star in Archangel, a Sony-produced film slated for release in late 2026, alongside notable actors like Olivia Thirlby and Garrett Dillahunt. This move suggests Caviezel is venturing into new projects, possibly moving beyond his religious film roles.
