Dodgeball Sequel Possibly In The Works??
Well count us in for sure! According to Deadline.com, it’s very much in the works.
Vince Vaughn will return to star in (and likely produce) a sequel to his hit 2004 comedy, Dodgeball, scripted by Jordan VanDina (The Binge), which is in early development at 20th Century Studios, Deadline has learned.
This would be amazing and something that fans have been excited for some time now. The movie made $168 million with a budget of only $20 million. The cast was STAR STUDDED and at the end of the day, it’s the performances that carried the entire film.
News Is Getting Around
Here is The Today Show chatting about it, seems like this is becoming a real thing.
But the question every is asking, who from the original cast will be back to be part of this project?
Who Is Coming Back For The Dodgeball Sequel?
We know for sure that Vince Vaughn will be starring and producing the film, he’s a bit of the driving force behind this whole project along with Jordan VanDina who will be writing it.

We’ve got Vince but what about Ben Stiller, the costar playing the hilarious White Goodman?? Will he be joining the cast? One can dream, right? He’s most popular recent work was directing Severance on Apple TV+ and it seems like directing has been his thing but we would love to see him in front of the camera.
