Kevin Smith Teases Dogma 2 with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon

Nov 18, 2024 6:53 AM

Kevin Smith has officially announced that he is working on a sequel to his acclaimed film Dogma, originally released in 1999. At the Vulture Festival, Smith expressed excitement about the project and confirmed that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are likely to reprise their roles. He described the sequel as more of a companion piece than a standard sequel. Despite some fans expressing concern about the sequel's impact on the original, Smith is confident in his vision. The film's rights have finally been resolved after many years of complications related to Harvey Weinstein, allowing Smith to work on both the sequel and a potential re-release of the original film.

Will Ben Affleck and Matt Damon return for Dogma 2?

Yes, Kevin Smith expects both actors to return, emphasizing that their involvement is crucial for the sequel's development.

Dogma is a distinctive dark comedy featuring a provocative storyline about two fallen angels trying to reclaim their place in Heaven. It became a conversation starter for its bold religious satire and featured an ensemble cast that included Alan Rickman, Salma Hayek, and Chris Rock. Despite facing backlash from some religious groups, it gained a cult following and is remembered for its clever humor and thought-provoking themes. With the recently resolved rights issues, fans may soon see the original film back in theaters as Smith also aims for a new home release.
