"Dogma 2" Is in Works with Ben Affleck & Matt Damon in Talks to Return

A sequel to the 1999 movie "Dogma" is in development with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon in talks to return.

The View Askewniverse creator revealed Sunday that he’s working on a sequel to the 1999 film, and he expects Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to return for cameos at least. 

“Some people will be like, ‘Don’t f—ing touch it. You’ll ruin it,'” said director Kevin Smith. “And I’m here to tell you: I will. I’m f—ing tickled. I found a way in.”

He sounded confident that Affleck and Damon would reprise their roles as fallen angels Bartleby and Loki, for cameos at least. The trio previously collaborated on the 1997 movie "Good Will Hunting".

“I have been able to hold that over both their heads for 25 f—ing years, which is why they keep showing up in all the movies,” Smith added. “Expect a cameo from them — more than a f—ing cameo. The only way we get a Dogma sequel made is if they’re there. So count on those guys being there.”

"Dogma" saw Affleck and Damon’s buddy angels traveling to New Jersey in search of a loophole that would get them back to heaven.

 The cast also features Linda Fiorentino, Salma Hayek, Alan Rickman, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, and Alanis Morissette, as well as Jason Mewes and Smith reprising their roles as Jay and Silent Bob. 

"Dogma" served as the fourth installment in Smith’s View Askewniverse, which also includes "Clerks" (1994), "Mallrats" (1995), "Chasing Amy" (1997), "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back" (2001), "Clerks II" (2006), "Jay and Silent Bob Reboot" (2019) and "Clerks III" (2022). 

Last month, Smith announced that the satire is returning to theaters and getting a new home release after the purchase of its distribution rights from Miramax, making the pic potentially available to stream for the first time ever.

The new Dogma deal could potentially lead to “sequels, TV versions, in terms of extending the story. Something we could never do before. So, exciting man. And all those people who worked in it are still viable.”
