Where is the third film dedicated to The Three Musketeers? The sequel to “Milady” seems to be off to a good start according to this message from the producer of the saga, Dimitri Rassam. Soon the return of Alexandre Dumas’ heroes to the cinema?
The Three Musketeers: an XXL French epic
The Three Musketeers: D’Artagnan released in April 2023, and its sequel, The Three Musketeers: Milady, which arrived in theaters in December of the same year, enjoyed great success at the box office. For a budget estimated at 70 million euros, the two films attracted more than five million spectators to the cinema.
Adapted from the work of Alexandre Dumas, this adventure diptych presented a new version of the well-known story of D’Artagnan and the Musketeers, through two epic feature films, directed by Martin Bourboulon and more focused on action than previous adaptations.
As its name suggests, the first film dealt with the arrival of D’Artagnan (François Civil) in Paris, and his meeting with The Musketeers (played by Vincent Cassel, Romain Duris and Pio Marmaï), while the second was rather focused on the troubled past of Milady (Eva Green), and her relationship with Athos.
Good news for the third film?
The end of the second film featured a fiery face-to-face between D’Artagnan and Milady, while the first had just lost his lover, Constance Bonacieux (Lyna Khoudri), hanged by the Duke of Buckingham, following yet another Milady’s scheme.
Against all odds, the latter managed to survive this duel, and the last minutes of the film took us to the home of Athos, when he discovered that Milady had kidnapped their son. This cliffhanger then gave us the promise of a sequel, dedicated to Athos, who will have to find Milady. But until now, no news of a sequel had leaked.
However, the producer of the saga, Dimitri Rassam, has just hinted at a message of hope! Indeed, while responding to an Internet user, who questioned him about the possibility of a third film, the producer declared “we are working on it”.
This third film The three Musketeers, which was conditioned by the results of the first two parts, is apparently in pre-production! Four months after the release of Milady, This is the first good news which was revealed by Dimitri Rassam. A formalization from Pathé should therefore not take long.
While waiting to discover this third part, we will be able to rediscover the world of Alexandre Dumas on June 28 with the count of Monte Cristoworn by Pierre Niney.
