“You don’t have leading men at 90 but I’m still here,” says the legendary star.

Sir Michael Caine has surprised fans once again. Just when everyone thought he was done with Hollywood, the 92-year-old screen legend is appearing in another big movie.

Reports say the Oscar winner is set to reunite with Vin Diesel in a sequel to The Last Witch Hunter. If you remember the 2015 film, Caine played Father Dolan, the wise priest who guides Diesel’s character Kaulder, an immortal warrior. Now, almost ten years later, he is ready for another big role again.

This comeback is a big shock for his fans because Sir Michael had announced his retirement in 2023 after his film ‘The Great Escaper.’ In that film, Sir Michael played real-life World War II veteran Bernie Jordan. At the time, Caine opened up that actors in their 90s don’t usually get leading roles. So, he thought it was the perfect time to step away from the screen.

But it looks like the acting bug never really left him. With a career of more than seven decades, Sir Michael has given us classics like The Italian Job, Zulu, The Cider House Rules, and Hannah and Her Sisters. His two Oscars are proof that he has successfully built an unforgettable legacy.

Caine has always been open about life and aging. Once when he was talking about retirement, he said, “What am I going to do that will beat this?” Still, his decision to return shows that passion doesn’t have an age limit.
