Vince Vaughn chats Dodgeball 2 possibility

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball–but that doesn’t mean you can dodge a sequel. Vince Vaughn, who played Average Joe’s captain Peter in Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, discussed the odds of there being a sequel to the 2004 comedy.

Thankfully for fans, Vince Vaughn is game for a sequel, although the story would have to be a priority. “They’ve always talked about these things forever and I had an idea that was fun and the studio likes it, so we’ll see where it goes…I think Ben [Stiller] is open to doing it, I think he’s in the same boat as me actually which is if it’s a really fun and great idea then that’s fun, but if it’s just something to go do it again then why?”

Vince Vaughn elaborated, saying, “You would just want to make sure going into Dodgeball that it feels like a nice continuation and a story that could stand on its own…I think for all of us if it feels right and it’s funny, it would be something to go back to, and if it’s not, it’s just another idea getting kicked around.”

Earlier this year, co-star Justin Long confirmed that Vince Vaughn had a plan for a sequel, although no plot details were given. Although a Dodgeball 2 has yet to be greenlit, the Dodgeball gang has reunited before, taking the court for charity in 2017.

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story did extremely well at the box office, pulling in around $115 domestically on a $20 million budget, making it one of the 20 highest-grossing movies of the year.
