KICK-ASS Star Chloë Grace Moretz Says She's "Done" With Playing Hit-Girl

KICK-ASS Star Chloë Grace Moretz Says She's "Done" With Playing Hit-Girl

Though there is a Kick-Ass 3 comic book, a third movie instalment was never a sure thing after the sequel's fairly disappointing box office -- but even if it does happen, it sounds like they'll have to replace Hit-Girl! Find out what young Chloë Grace Moretz has to say after the jump.

Despite writer Mark Millar stating that things are "up in the air" as far as a third Kick-Ass movie goes, one of the stars of the previous 2 instalments definitely seems to be erring towards the negative side of things when it comes to the film ever getting made. "Sadly, I think I'm done with the character," Chloë Grace Moretz tells Digital Spy. "Hit-Girl was a very cool character, but I don't think there will be any more movies." The actress blames movie piracy contributing to disappointing box office numbers as the main reason why we likely won't see a Kick-Ass 3. "Kick-Ass 2 was one of the number one pirated movies of the year, but that doesn't help us because we need box office figures. We need to prove to the distributors that we can make money from a third and a fourth movie - but because it didn't do so well, we can't make another one." But this doesn't mean we'll never see Moretz suit up as a superhero again -- on the contrary; it seems she's actively looking at comic books and novels for potential roles in the future. "I try to keep abreast on what's out there and what's being made," she tells the site. "We're getting a lot of source material from books and comics right now, so it's a great place to look."

i liked KA2. also it really doesnt seem to me that she wouldn't play the role if they did move ahead with a third

The sequel felt too amateur compared to the first. Can't really see a third movie happening at this rate. Perhaps it's best to leave it alone...

I liked kick ass 2 if you watch them back to back its like they are one movie. sucks was really hoping for a trilogy. Thats when you call it quits.

No one really wants a Kick Ass 3 anyway, so whatever.

But since Kick-Ass is pretty much out of business and The Secret Service is pretty much (nearly) finished (I guess), this is what needs to be adapted next:



I recommend everyone read it. It's a very good book.

She is a shitty actress though she always seems likes shes trying to hard to act or somthing. I cant explain it.

She grew up way too fast. She was great in the first, but needed to be around the same age for the second to make it work.

Loved the film, though.

Pretty much. That's today's Hollywood. Piracy screws up the box office intake so they didn't make that much. Take piracy out of the picture and add in a lot of box office intake, we'd be getting a sequel. This has been happening for a while e.g. Transformers trilogy.

KA2 took everything that was special away from the first movie. It was too unrealistic, compared to the amateuristic nature of the first movie.

It doesn't sound like she personally never wants to do it but that she doubts a Kick-Ass 3 will ever come due to poor box office.

And this is why piracy is bad you jackasses.

Honestly I don't think Kick Ass 3 would really work with the movies. They essentially make Kickass 3 null. Aaron Johnson isn't some small guy and Chloe would look even more like a college aged women.

Her character didn't go to jail. His character was training to be a real threat.

Kickass 3 doesn't tell a story that naturally continues from the movies.

I'm not to bothered by a third not happening though. Really 2 left off fine so there isn't much purpose to a 3rd. I just hate it when series end on a 2, it just feels so incomplete.

I thought the Kick-Ass movies were cool, I would've watched a 3rd.... But, I'm not surprised, Sin City 2 is bombing and that's an R-Rated CBM....

The worst article title I have ever seen. Nowhere does she say she's not interested in the character. She states it's sad that there likely won't be more movies and she won't get to play the character again.
JamesMan
JamesMan - 8/24/2014, 6:26 PM
The problem is though that piracy has a MUCH larger effect on films with a $30 million budget, small fanbase, and an R-rating than ones with $170 million budgets, large fanbase, and a PG-13.

@RorMachine So I just can't see it while editing the article or previewing it?
MarkCassidy
MarkCassidy - 8/24/2014, 6:42 PM
@Sipprelle, yep, should still show up in the article though

@zarog - ""Sadly, I think I'm done with the character,"

Yes, really quite a stretch I made with my title..dunno what I was thinking.
