Kevin Smith is reportedly planning a sequel to one of his biggest movies. Dogma was released all of the way back in 1999 with Matt Damon and Ben Affleck among its cast. Well, it looks like Smith is ready for a follow-up after finding a way in for a new movie. More exciting news on Dogma 2 below.
Deadline reports that Smith is indeed working on a sequel and was speaking over the weekend at Vulture Festival in Los Angeles. “Some people will be like, ‘Don’t f—ing touch it. You’ll ruin it,’” said Smith. “And I’m here to tell you: I will. I’m f—ing tickled. I found a way in.”

What’s more, Smith hopes that Damon and Affleck will also return for Dogma 2, or whatever Smith chooses to call it, as their characters Bartleby and Loki. He 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 revolves around Damon and Affleck’s two fallen angels who are banished from heaven and are sent to Earth, specifically Wisconsin. They have to fight their way back via a loophole they’ve found in New Jersey. The movie has a huge cast that includes George Carlin, Linda Fiorentino, Janeane Garofalo, Chris Rock, Jason Lee, Salma Hayek, Bud Cort, Alan Rickman, and music icon Alanis Morissette.
Dogma grossed $43 million up its release in the late ’90s from a $10 million budget. It was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1999 out of competition before being released in cinemas in November of that year stateside.
