On April 8, 2015, Smith said that Mallrats 2 would rather be his next movie: "we were chatting about in the beginning capturing 'Clerks III' this summer and then we have been likely to get to 'Mallrats' in the starting of 2016. And then it jumped into 2015, the place we have been going to shoot 'Clerks' and then hopefully 'Mallrats' ahead of the end of the yr.
