Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was praised as one of the better recent fantasy films, but its co-creator has indicated a sequel that has already been written may never be produced. Jonathan Goldstein said financial constraints are likely to stop the follow-up reaching cinemas, despite the writing team being enthusiastic about revisiting the story and cast. This matters because the 2023 film was well received critically but underperformed commercially, and its fate reflects wider caution among studios about greenlighting expensive fantasy blockbusters.

Goldstein, speaking to Screen Rant, confirmed he and co-creator John Francis Daley were commissioned to write a sequel but said it "won't see the light of day for a number of financial reasons," citing the high cost of making such films. Honor Among Thieves struggled at the box office after opening in 2023 close to major releases including John Wick 4 and The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and reports indicate Paramount had discussed a sequel or spin-off with the writers before budget cuts stalled progress. Ownership changes at the studio since then leave open the possibility that a future decision-maker could revive the project.
