Kick-Ass Stars In Talks To Return For Sequel

When it was announced that Universal was making a deal so that it could create a sequel to Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass
there was a lot of rejoicing among fans, but the news came with a
catch: none of the principal actors, including Aaron Johnson, Chloe
Moretz and and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, had contracts that would
guarantee their return for Kick-Ass 2. Well, we can all breathe
a sigh of relief now because apparently Universal knows that making the
film would be pointless without the original cast.


Johnson, Moretz and Mintz-Plasse have all begun negotiating to reprise
their roles as Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist in the sequel. What's
more, apparently Nicolas Cage, who played Hit Girl's father in the
original, is also in talks for a cameo. The first film, directed by
Matthew Vaughn and based on the comic book series by Mark Millar, was
about a young, ordinary teenage boy who one day decides that he wants to
become a superhero and fight crime. It was a modest success, pulling in
$103 million worldwide on a $28 million budget, but it was expected to
perform much better so Lionsgate (who distributed the first movie) put
the sequel on ice. Kick-Ass 2 is currently aiming for a start
of production date in the fall and Jeff Wadlow has already been hired to
direct and write the script. His previous credits include Cry_Wolf and Never Back Down.


This is really good news, but they really are going to have to put this movie into high gear if they want to get it done right. Kick-Ass
only came out in 2010, but its lead actors have aged quite considerably
since then (particularly Moretz), so if they want to keep the timeline
stable then they need to act quick

I loved Kick-Ass, so I hope they do make a new one with the same actors. That little girl was the baddest ass person in the movie, lol.
