Dodgeball fans, there might be some promising news on the horizon about a sequel. Apparently, Vince Vaughn has a great idea for a second movie, he just needs Ben Stiller to get on board.

According to Justin Long, a sequel idea is ready to go, it just needs a green light from Stiller.

The original movie was released 18 years ago, back in 2004, where Vaughn played Peter La Fleur - the leader of the Average Joe's Gym dodgeball team and Stiller played White Goodman - the rival Globo Gym owner.

Speaking about the prospect of revisiting the movie for a second instalment, Long (who played team member Justin) explained Stiller is a little reluctant.

But it kinda sounds like he could be persuaded.

“Of course I would love to do it and I hope that it ends up happening, but I think Ben [Stiller] 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,” Long told Comicbook.

“It’s very risky, you don’t wanna s**t on the original, you want something just as good.

"So I think he’s a little wary of that, of trying to recreate something that was very specific to that time, but I hope he comes around on it.”

Long added that Vaughn is pretty convincing, but refused to give any juicy details on what the sequel would be about.

“Vince is a very convincing person, so I’m just hoping Vince can convince him with his idea," he added.

"It’s a funny idea, I don’t wanna say what it is. I know Ben loves Dodgeball and loves that character.

"I remember how much fun he had playing it. He was always laughing.”

The idea is said to have come about at a 2017 cast reunion.

Long said the idea first came about after a 2017 cast reunion, where Stiller commented on how happy he was playing White Goodman.

“When we got together years later to do a little mini reunion for this charity and Ben put on the moustache again, I remember him talking about how how happy it made him playing White Goodman again and how much fun that character was,” he continued.

“I do know that Vince has a great idea for it and it’s just a matter of getting Ben on board.”

Come on Ben, give the people what they want.
