Mark Millar stated on numerous occasions that a Kick-Ass was a sure thing but he seemed to be the only one who knew anything about it. Mathew Vaughn, the director of the first movie, rubbished the rumor that plans were already in motion but said that it might be a possibility at some point down the line.
Now Chloe Moretz, who stole the show as Hit Girl last time around, seems pretty sure the movie will happen and that she will reprise her role as the ass kicking minor. Movies.com caught up with her at TIFF..
Movies.com: Are they going to be able to do Kick-Ass 2 in time for you to be Hit Girl again?
CM: Actually, yeah, but I think I’m going to be a little bit older. I’d like to do it in the next year or two because I think that’s a really good time age-wise. You can show Hit Girl in a different light which would be a lot of fun.
Movies.com: Would you like to revisit her at different ages?
CM: I think it would be fun to show her, because you know her as this 11-year-old assassin, so I think it would be fun to show her as this twisted young adult, this 16-17-year-old Catwoman-y almost, twisted and dark person.
Movies.com: She could have a driver’s license then.
CM: Ex-ACTLY! Hit Girl could be riding Ducatis all over New York City. Duh.
So nothing official, but Moretz certainly sounds like she has heard that plans are in place. I think most of us agree that
Kick-Ass was awesome, but will the window for a sequel have passed by if they wait too much longer? Did we get everything we needed from this story already anyway? For the full interview in which Moretz talks about her roles in
