Smith has also expressed regret over his past association with Weinstein and pledged to donate future residuals from his films to Women in Film.

Humorously, Smith claimed he has held over Affleck and Damon's debt to him for 25 years, ensuring their participation in the sequel.

Smith confirmed that original stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are expected to reprise their roles as fallen angels Bartleby and Loki, promising that their appearances will be more than just cameos.

The rights to Dogma were sold to an unnamed company in 2024, allowing Smith to proceed with the sequel without sharing profits with Harvey Weinstein.

This new deal for the rights may open up opportunities for sequels and expanded storytelling that were previously unavailable.

Kevin Smith has officially announced a sequel to his 1999 film Dogma during the Vulture Festival, generating excitement among fans.

In the original Dogma, Affleck and Damon portrayed fallen angels trying to exploit a church loophole to return to Heaven, a plot that sparked moderate controversy but became a critical and commercial success.

Smith expressed excitement about the project, acknowledging potential criticism while affirming his intent to move forward with it.

As part of the sequel's promotion, Smith plans to release a home video edition and hold a 25th anniversary screening of the original Dogma.

Smith highlighted his long-standing relationship with Damon and Affleck, tracing it back to 1997 when he helped them with Good Will Hunting.

Following the sale of distribution rights from Miramax, Dogma will return to theaters and receive a new home release.

In addition to Dogma, Smith is also developing a sequel to his 1995 film Mallrats, which he announced during the COVID-19 quarantine.
