Movie fans can prepare to once again dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge.
Deadline reported on Thursday that a sequel to the beloved sports comedy Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is in the works.
Actor Vince Vaughn will return to star in the sequel as Peter LaFleur, the Average Joe’s gym owner who leads a ragtag dodgeball team to a national tournament to save their workout establishment from the grips of the evil Globo Gym owner White Goodman (Ben Stiller).
The original film came out in 2004 and grossed $168.4 million as a summer hit.
Deadline reports that only Vaughn and a writer (Jordan VanDina, who wrote the 2020 comedy The Binge) are attached to the project at the moment.
Plot details aren’t yet known, but Dodgeball fans can rest assured that there will be plenty of laughs (and dodgeball action) in store.
No release date is yet known, but fans can probably expect the sequel to hit the dodgeball court sometime in the next couple of years.
Just don’t expect a direct-to-ESPN 8: The Ocho release.
