Harry Knowles is reporting that Kick-Ass 2 has been greenlit, but I can’t lie to you guys. Those three exclamation points in the headline are meant to indicate the likelihood that this story is total bullsh*t. So take it with a few grains of salt, and then slam some tequila and punch a hooker if you have to (I’m not here to judge). An AICN reader sent Knowles this tip:
Been listening to Mark Millar on Radio 5 in the UK who says that because of the fantastic number of DVD sales of Kick Ass that Kick Ass 2 has been greenlit and will go ahead and be based on Millar’s follow-up comic.
The key thing to remember here is that Mark Millar is notorious for constantly making sh*t up and being wrong. This isn’t even the first time he’s brought up a Kick-Ass sequel — Chris Mintz-Plasse shot down Millar’s last sequel claim back in May. According to people in the know, Matthew Vaughn is busy with X-Men: First Class, and they won’t know the status of a Kick-Ass sequel until he’s done. This is probably just wishful thinking on Millar’s part, based on DVD sales reports, and the fact that he’d make a bunch more money if they turned another one of his comics into a movie. My, this was an interesting story, wasn’t it.
Anyway, why the hell does everything need a sequel? I know this sounds like Godfather 2 compared to an Expendables sequel, but still. Didn’t SPOILER ALERT: Nic Cage’s character die at the end? F*ck that. I refuse to watch a Kick-Ass without Nic Cage being a weirdo. The only way this could work is if they made it a prequel, and found an even younger girl to play Hit-Girl. What? I think that could be hot.

Yet another one I won’t see b/c I have no life b/c of kids.
* not bitter
** yes I am
Beyonce’s red-headed stepbrother went on to say, “If you slam a Mountain Dew first, it keeps your mouth moist to help you see how many Cheetos you can fit in it at once…it kinda makes them “dissolvey”!”
Mark Millar: “Aye, they’re makin’ a sequel, it’s been greenlit, it’s all set and stuff. It hasn’t really, but they kinda have to make it after I say this. Aye. Gimme mah money.”
Well swi, when you spend more time in the box orfice than at a box office…
So I keep seeing the Black Swan thumbnail on the right sidebar and I’m wondering “Did we ever determine who’s bating in it, Kunis or Portman?” Y’know, for research purposes.
Who the fuck is Chris Mintz-Plasse? Ohhhhhhh, you mean Fan of FilmDrunk Chris Mintz-Plasse.
I just got a tip from harry Knowles neighbor that he is a smelly fat piece of shit.
Vince is calling him “Chris” now?
We named the dog Christopher.
Dor sho gha! Look at the news! An obese man in a wheelchair has taken the King Kong Photo Op exhibit hostage at Universal Studios, raving, “Kick Ass 2 *IS* happening!!!”
Totally gonna happen, look at Chris’ IMdb page!! !! !
Not enough exclamation points. This is the fucking internet. As far as I know, that means you’re bored.
I won’t copy what I wrote on g-squad cause it is bizarre but yeah finally got Kick-Ass on bluray last week and it looked, was scored and executed to perfection. Pissed I skipped it in theater but I did love the film save for the last few cheesy moments but it was necessary. I think Hit-Girl should greet all the marks in those To Catch a Predator shows
The only way this could work is if they made it a prequel, and found an even younger girl to play Hit-Girl. What? I think that could be hot.
Holy fuck, Jonbenet Ramsey would be 20 by now!
Chris Mintz-Plasse shot down Millar’s last sequel claim back in May.
I bet he made the “pew pew” sound when he did it, too.
Red Mist’s Revenge.. I like it.. Cage could come back. DNA cloning. Hit girl has to teach Daddy’s clone to be a super hero. I can write the fucking screen play. Hit me up
Gross Vince a younger Hit Girl isn’t hot, you are going from Red Mist territory to Red Fist
