Kick-Ass didn’t make that much money on the box office. Last time I checked, it had grossed about $100 million. It’s creator, Mark Millar, has announced that since the movie will make lots of money on it’s dvd/blu-ray release, that the studio has given the sequel a a go.
But here’s the good news for Kick-Ass fans: Millar says Kick-Ass 2 is happening. After it makes all that crazy DVD money he says, “So It should be okay. So the sequel’s greenlit, we can go ahead and do the follow up now, you know. The first made so much compared to what it cost it would be crazy not to.”
I totally enjoyed the first one. It was funny, entertaining, didn’t take itself seriously, and the action rocked. Even my wife, fell in love with Hit Girl. So if Millar is right about this, I welcome a sequel. The question is, who would direct it? Kick-Ass director, Matthew Vaughn, has moved on to make X-Men: First Class. So would Millar and company get someone else? Or cross their fingers and wait to see if Vaughn would do it?
Regardless, I would definitely watch Hit Girl do her thing in the sequel.
UPDATE: IMDB actually has this: Kick-Ass 2 – Balls To The Wall (2012)
You want Kick-Ass 2? Do you believe Millar at all? If Vaughn doesn’t come back to direct, who would you like to take helm?
