- KICK-ASS 2
With a sequel to the original comic book series hitting the
stands, creator Mark Millar tells The LA Times' Hero Complex that he's already
got the ending of the third and final miniseries planned and has since the very
first Kick-Ass. Meanwhile, on the movie front, a sequel could finally be moving
forward.
"I obviously know more than I can say," Millar
teases, "but I think people will be pretty happy with the conversations
we’ve been having."
Millar also confirms that, while it's unlikely that Matthew
Vaughn will return as a director, he could very well produce and potentially
co-write a second film.
"[E]verybody involved suddenly got hired for a million
different things," he explains, "and re-forming the band again would
be impossible. Hopefully, we can use the same actors if and when we do a
sequel, but getting Matthew [Vaughn] to direct or Jane to write a movie at this
budget would be very difficult because they’re superstars now and they have projects
of their own... But there’s a window because the actors are all supposed to be
in high school and if this came out after 2013, for example, that window would
have closed."
The original Kick-Ass, released in 2010, grossed $98 million
worldwide. Vaughn, who directed that film, went on to direct this year's X-Men:
First Class.
