BLEEDING COOL recently had a chance to talk to both director Matthew Vaughn and screen writer Jane Goldman while promoting their latest team-up
X-Men: First Class (as I write Bleeding Cool has yet to release the full interview). During the chat, the sequel to their cult hit based of the popular comic
Kick-Ass was called into question. Unfortunately Vaughn has almost completely disposed of the idea, but with justification as to why:
"Everyone says we’re doing Kick-Ass 2 but… the weird thing about Kick-Ass 2 is I’d love to do it, because I enjoyed it so much, but I’m a big believer that if you’re going to do a sequel it’s got to be as good as the first one if not better. I just don’t know how I could…
My business brain just says do Kick-Ass 2, shoot it and get it out there and it would make a lot of money but I really do love that movie. It was a special moment to me making that film and I don’t want to spoil it. I’m not saying it’s as good as Pulp Fiction but I think it would be weird if Tarantino did Pulp Fiction 2.
