Christopher Mintz-Plasse Talks KICK-ASS 2; Addresses An Older Chloe Moretz As Hit-Girl

Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Red Mist/The Mother F*cker) discusses his excitement to return to the world created by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. in Jeff Wadlow's Kick-Ass 2, comparing the film to Warriors and addressing the fact that we now have a much older Hit-Girl.

"I had no idea if this was going to happen," Christopher Mintz-Plasse told Collider in a recent interview while promoting animated movie Paranorman. "It didn't seem like it, especially now that Chloe is like, what, is she 37 now? [Laughs] But no, they hey wrote an incredible script. I think she’s going into 9th grade in this which is really smart. They didn’t keep her 11 as she was in the first one. They kind of aged it up a bit. And it’s super violent and bloody and funny and it’s got a great cast. I’m really excited. I fly out to London in a week to get started."

As for when exactly he begins working on director Jeff Wadlow's big screen adaptation of comic book writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita Jr.'s Kick-Ass 2 (which will also include elements from the Hit-Girl miniseries) he told the site the following. "I'm flying out there next week to get started on rehearsals and wardrobe and stuff and then I think we start shooting September. It's going to be busy because I'm flying back and forth because I'm shooting a show for CBS as well, so I'll be shooting a couple of weeks September, fly back, go out again in October for like a week, come back, and then go out again in November for a couple of weeks."

"You know I think so, but I think they did that purposely," the actor revealed when asked if the time which has elapsed since the release of the last film will effect the story in this one. "I think that they did that strictly because Chloe is older now and they had to age her up, but that works." And as for whether or not he gets to take part in any more action scenes this time around, he added, "Oh yeah, it's like, I don't want to ruin anything, but it's kind of like 'Warriors' meets 'Kick-Ass'. That's like the theme for this. It's gonna be intense."

I can picture it being like Warriors, different little groups and cliques as their own wanna be super hero groups with Christopher running the villians. Hope to see an all out battle at the end between all the heroes/villians ala Wall Street fight from TDKR...but this time...NO JET PACKS :P

Kick-Ass 2 the comic was, in my opinion, absolutely terrible! It's like Mark Millar completely misunderstood what made the first so good, and went in a completely different, seriously f-ed up and dark direction. I really, really hated it! So I hope this adaption doesn't stick too close to the source material. The first movie was awesome, so I've got high hopes.

I actually preferred the first movie over the first comic series. It seems like with all Millar's independent projects he writes great stuff until the last 10 pages where he's all 'Wah wah wah [frick] you for buying this.'

Only thing wrong with the first film was the damn JETPACK.....No more of that. The Warriors is one of my favs so a mix of the two sounds great for a cbm. All the heroes and villains linking up to fight sounds cool to me.

I wish people knew how good the first one was. Then they would have made this alot faster. This was the best movie of 2009. Can't wait for the second!

I remember when my little brother was really trying to get me to watch the first film, but I refuse to cause I thought it was a piece of dog shit and not even remotely hilarious. But I finally caved in and watched it, and I found myself laughing out loud more than one time. I laughed for a long time when the antagonist was in his car and said... "Look at him giving everyone high fives, I'll give him a high five." I think that may have been one of the funniest parts. So all in all, I liked the film... Definitely seeing part 2...

ps... Chris had a bad ass car

Thought the first one was okay, but The Warriors is my favorite movie of all time, so if the sequel is anything like it, I'll definitely be checking it out.

The first film was freaking awesome! Hope the sequel is just as good as the first.

I really hated the actor that played Kick-Ass-- he's decent when in full costume (maybe because you can't see his face?), but every other scene of his, I had to make a conscious effort to ignore him so I could enjoy the movie.

But everyone else was flat out great. Chloe of course, but it was also probably Nicholas Cage's best performance in the past 10 years.

Loved the first film! And Cage channelling his inner Adam West was a brilliant touch!
