Despite being such an iconic duo in movies and pop culture at large, Matt Damonand Ben Affleckhave been in fewer films together than you'd think. They helped define 1990s independent cinema with their writing and acting partnership in Good Will Hunting, followed by a farcical turn in Kevin Smith's Dogma. However, it took them over 20 years to properly reunite (excluding Damon's litany of cameos in other Affleck-Smith films), and this reunion was one that few people seemed to care about. Released in 2021 to poor box office returns, the Disney-20th Century Studios merger did no favors to The Last Duel, Ridley Scott's overlooked medieval drama that failed to spotlight the reunion between Damon and Affleck as an acting and writing team in its marketing. Luckily, it appears that the experience of making the film rekindled their bond, as the two are now leading a new Netflix action thriller, The Rip.
