Director Clerks sequels.

Considered one of the most influential figures in American independent cinema of the 1990s, Smith went on to have a checkered, but largely successful career, directing financially successful movies such as Chasing Amy and Cop Out, as well as box office bombs like Jersey Girl and Yoga Hosers. In later years Smith's filmography pivoted from comedy into movies containing darker elements, such as thriller and horror, including Red State and Tusk, before revisiting past movies to produce sequels, such as the Jay and Silent Bob Reboot. And there is the belief that another of Smith's beloved 90s comedies could receive a sequel.

Dogma 2 Could Happen But Nothing Is Officially In Development

Smith Clarifies His Desire To Make A Sequel, But Confirms Nothing Is Set In Stone

Released in 1999, long-time Smith collaborator Ben Affleck. The movie has developed a cult following over the years, which has been further fueled by the fact the movie is not available to stream anywhere, and Smith's recent decision to revisit past work, and produce sequels, has led many to hope that a Dogma sequel may occur.

The director has seemingly had his experimental phase, and now looks to be returning to more familiar projects

Per X, Smith Tweets to clarify a report in Deadline that states Smith confirmed that Dogma 2 is happening with Affleck and Damon. The director states that while he is planning the sequel, and has started to write the screenplay in his head, nothing is confirmed with the project at this stage. He also confirms that, despite wanting their characters - Bartleby and Loki - to return, he has not spoken with Affleck or Damon yet. Check out the 54-year-old's Tweet below:

Our Take On Smith's Dogma Sequel Comments

The Movie Has A Strong Chance of Happening If Affleck & Damon Are Involved

Smith's fondness for revisiting his older movies, and developing sequels means a Dogma follow-up is likely. The director has seemingly had his experimental phase, and now looks to be returning to more familiar projects, which is one of the reasons I could see Dogma 2 happening in the next few years.

However, Smith previously tried to make a sequel to Mallrats, both as a movie and show, which were never greenlit. Much will depend on the availability of Affleck and Damon, whose involvement would all but confirm a greenlight, but they are bigger stars now, with busier schedules, so Smith might need to call upon his unique friendship with the pair to secure their involvement in a Dogma sequel.
