Matt Damon Is Playing Loki Again In Kevin Smith’s Next Film

Though not as apparent as his longtime artistic partnership with Ben Affleck, Kevin Smith has labored with Affleck’s fellow Good Will Hunting actor and scribe Matt Damon on quite a few events. For starters, there’s the wildly bizarre proven fact that Smith is credited as a co-executive producer on the Oscar-winning movie, however the apparent contender is 1999’s Dogma, wherein Damon and his Boston buddy performed two wayward angels who have been attempting to rip-off their manner again into heaven. That character — the fallen angel Loki — is who Damon will play (once more) in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

When the movie’s first trailer dropped at Comic-Con, audiences caught a fast blink-and-you’ll-miss-it shot of Damon in character as Loki. (He’s even carrying the character’s trademark lengthy coat and hoodie combo whereas sitting in a church.) The factor is, he died on the finish of Dogma, so what offers? As Smith defined on Instagram, it was his spouse Jennifer Schwalbach’s thought.

I scoffed like a hardcore Kevin Smith fan, replying “I can’t play with Loki. Loki died.” Jen smiled and stated “Well it’s a good thing you don’t know the writer, or else you might be able to change your idea.” And identical to that, my spouse made the film higher. I requested costume designer @ruckusaurus to place collectively a Loki-looking ensemble, discovered a church, and broke out my life measurement Dogma motion determine.

Of course, Marvel followers who could or will not be accustomed to Smith’s Dogma are most likely guffawing since Damon cameoed as an Asgardian actor who portrayed the trickster Loki in a stage play depicted in Thor: Ragnarok. So, as Comic Book notes, Damon will technically be enjoying “Loki” for the third time in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.
