The sequel to the hit comedy film ‘Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story’, currently in early development at 20th Century Studios, will star actor Vince Vaughn.

According to PTI, Jordan VanDina has been hired to write the script for the film based on Vaughn’s idea.

The plot’s specifics are being kept under wraps.

The 2004 original followed Peter La Fleur (Vaughn), the owner of Average Joe’s Gym, a small and run-down local hangout frequented by a ragtag group of misfits. To keep the gym from being taken over by Globo Gym, a corporate fitness chain run by White Goodman (Ben Stiller), Peter and his friends enter a USD 50,000 dodgeball tournament in Las Vegas.

Rawson Marshall Thurber wrote and directed the film, which was produced by Ben Stiller and Stuart Cornfeld.

Other cast members for the upcoming sequel film will be revealed in the future.
