Stan Lee, Michael Rooker, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes Are Making an Avengers-Themed Audi Ad

Bickety bam! Mallrats stars Michael Rooker, Kevin Smith, Jason Mewes and Stan Lee have reunited for a car commercial, Smith announced today via social media.

And, of course, with a Mallrats 2 on the horizon, the way in which he announced it (embedded below) will undoubtedly lead to speculation that Rooker will return for the planned sequel, which Smith recently confirmed.

Lee and Smith have always said that Lee would likely reprise his cameo from Mallrats in any sequel, although no specific talk about Lee's involvement with the film has happened in the week or so since Smith announced the film.

It's been twenty years since Mallrats bombed at the box office and went on to become a huge hit on home video. In the intervening time, Smith has made a number of films in the interconnected universe that Mallrats shared with his 1994 debut feature, Clerks. A second Clerks film was made in 2006, with a third set to begin photography this spring.

No specific details have yet been released about Mallrats 2, although the end of the first film gave Animal House-style endings to each of the characters that may somewhat limit what they can do without breaking "canon." Brodie Bruce, the character played by Jason Lee in the film, also appeared in 2001's Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, having given up his job at The Tonight Show to buy and operate a comic book store.
