SPOILER! Kevin Smith Will Kill Off One of His Major Characters in Next Movie, Moose Jaws
Nobody major, as far as we know yet, will die in his NEXT-next movie, Yoga Hosers, except perhaps audience goodwill if Johnny Depp gets to mug as much in the Guy LaPointe role as he did in Tusk. But in its follow-up – the conclusion to his Candian monster movie trilogy, featuring a deadly moose – some View Askewniverse characters will be showing up, and one will die, according to a new interview.
Now, before we say who, let’s just point out a couple of things:
- Smith once said the Askewniverse would end with Jay and Silent Bob Strikes Back. And then with Clerks II. And then Clerks III was going to be his last film. So any “permanent” decisions are subject to change.
- As per Dogma, the Askewniverse contains full-on Catholic theology, including an afterlife. So death need not mean a character can’t come back.
That said, do you want to know who it is?
We’ll give you some spoiler space…

It’s Silent Bob. Smith is killing his onscreen self.
Wanna know how and why? An Australian news site has the answer. Though the real reason may be that he likes talking just too damn much.
I expect the decision to stick abut as long as the death of Superman.
