Ben Stiller is hesitant to make Dodgeball 2, as shared by Justin Long, who reveals there is an idea for the sequel but notes the risk in making it.
Justin Long reveals why Ben Stiller is hesitant to make a sequel to Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, the film has often been considered a classic within the sports comedy genre, earning praise from critics and building a solid fanbase over the years since its 2004 release.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Discussions surrounding a potential sequel to Dodgeball began in 2013, with Silicon Valley's Clay Tarver reportedly brought on to write the script. Stiller and Vaughn were set to reprise their roles from the first movie, but fans hoping for some continuation have been left waiting, as the project's development never came to fruition.
"Of course I would love to do it and I hope that it ends up happening, but I think Ben is a little, what he told me on that podcast was that he's a little trepidatious about doing a sequel to something so beloved, something that people enjoy so much that. It's very risky, you don't wanna s--t on the original, you want something just as good.
How Dodgeball 2 Could Outdo Zoolander 2 Stiller faced the adverse effects of attempting a sequel in 2016 when the critical and commercial failure of Zoolander 2 resulted in a rather dejecting experience. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story may have more going for it, including a better initial box office performance and avid fans.
The overall success of Dodgeball 2 would depend on the cast's return and its script; however, fans of the original film would be thrilled to see Stiller reprise his role as White Goodman. While he wrote and directed the Zoolander movies and is currently involved in projects like Apple TV+'s Severance, Stiller would lessen his load on a potential sequel, likely only acting and producing.
