In "The Last Witch Hunter," Diesel will be seen playing the role of Kaulder, the last witch hunter to have survived. He will live in the world of magical realism and will go on a mission to save the New York City, from a lurking danger. He will have to form an unlikely alliance with female witch to complete his mission. He will have reservations in teaming up with the female witch, played by "Game of Thrones" actress Rose Leslie.

The film is said to be the modern day version of "Constantine" and its major portion has been shot in Pittsburgh. The shooting of the film had received some setbacks; post the death of actor Paul Walker. Diesel had to give extra dates to "Fast & Furious 7" due to delay in its production. The shooting of the film commenced in September and will end by December this year.

The more we film, the more I think you will really enjoy this movie. Kaulder is a very unique and interesting character, who has lived for centuries with one foot in reality and the other in the realm of magic," said Diesel to Screen Rant about his role in the film.

The film will hit the theatres on Oct 24. It has been produced by Lionsgate Entertainment and is predicted to be a huge box office success. Breck Eisner has directed the film and also stars Sir Michael Caine, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Julie Engelbrecht, Lotte Verbeek and Elijah Wood.
