Will We See More of ‘The Three Musketeers’?
Well, that remains to be seen. The two movies were produced for a combined budget of around $78 million and filmed between August 2021 and June 2022.Speaking to Collider to promoteMilady, Eva Green admittedshe was keen to continue the story but added that it depended on how the film performed financially. However, they only earned $61.2 million worldwide. That said, given the film was shot in Europe, it’s difficult to know how much of that was offset by tax write-offs or presales. Additionally, the film was available to purchase on PVOD instead of released theatrically in the United States, so that revenue is unknown. Nonetheless, Green’s enthusiasm should count for something.
Oh, god. My god. I think it really would depend on how well it does, how people like it, if it’s successful enough internationally. Then I think, probably, we’ll do a third one. Maybe I will have white hair. I’ll be much older. Butthere’s so much to be told, it’s Dumas. You’ve gotThe Man in the Iron Mask. There’s potential, for sure. We’ll see.
The Three Musketeers: D’ArtagnanandThe Three Musketeers: Miladywill arrive on Hulu from November 1. Check them out, you won’t regret it.
