Matt Damon returning as Loki in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot

August 4, 2019 by Gary Collinson

As we saw in the Comic-Con trailer for Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, Matt Damon is making his return to the View Askewniverse this year for the sequel to Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and as revealed by Kevin Smith, Damon is reprising one of his earlier roles.

No, it’s not Matt Damon / Will Hunting from Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season, but rather the fallen angel Loki from 1999’s Dogma.

“When we started Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, we reached out to Matt to see if he wanted to return to the scene of the crime,” writes Smith on Instagram. “When he confirmed, I started thinking about how to best use good Will Hunting and which role he could play. Then [Jennifer Schwalbach] suggested ‘Why don’t you use him as Loki?’ I scoffed like a hardcore Kevin Smith fan, replying ‘I can’t play with Loki. Loki died.’ Jen smiled and said ‘Well it’s a good thing you don’t know the writer, or else you might be able to change your idea.’ And just like that, my wife made the movie better.”
