10 Announced Movie Sequels That Shouldn't Happen
2. Dogma 2
There's a strong argument to be made that Dogma is Kevin Smith's greatest film, but it also seems like the one Smith movie least suited to getting a sequel.
In recent years, the filmmaker has been delivering nostalgic victory lap sequels and follow-ups with the likes of Jay and Silent Bob Reboot and Clerks III, and with a planned Mallrats sequel failing to gain traction for years, Smith has now moved on to Dogma.
Late last year, Smith confirmed that he is currently writing Dogma 2 and expects Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to return for cameo appearances as fallen angels Bartleby and Loki. Yet nothing in Smith's late-career output suggests a Dogma sequel will be much good - even the most forgiving Kevin Smith fan can surely appreciate that his recent work lacks the sharpness and wit of his work from 25 years ago.
Plus, with Affleck and Damon unlikely to return for more than cameos, let alone original cast members such as Chris Rock and Salma Hayek - not to forget the late Alan Rickman and George Carlin - it just seems like the time for this movie to happen passed many, many, many years ago.
Leave it alone, Kev.
