Synopsis
Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2.  After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol.  When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F-----r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets,  the world’s first super villain, The Mother F----r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

Watch A Giant Melee In This Kick-Ass 2 Clip

Ten eye gouges full of kudos to Universal for dropping a clip that seems to be at a highly pivotal point in the movie, with Dave “Kick-Ass” Lzewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Mindy “Hit-Girl” Macready (Chloë Grace Moretz) fearlessly standing in front of a veritable army of darkly-clothed villains – including lead of course by Chris “The Mother Fucker” D’Amico, as well as the beefy Mother Russia (Olga Kurkulina)....

In case you forgot, Hit-Girl lost her actual father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage), during the initial Kick-Ass movie.

Following Kick-Ass 2’s expletive-laden action-heavy red band trailer that came out a couple of weeks ago, there wasn’t much more to do to reintroduce some of the most uncouth and amusing vigilantes ever to grace cinema screens and comic pages. And as you can see from the international trailer above, no attempts were made to try and top to previous trailer’s mayhem...

Jim Carrey Shows Off His Full Costume In First Official Kick-Ass 2 Image

Jim Carrey has had a mixed record when it comes to comic book adaptations. On the one hand you have The Mask, which is still a very funny comedy that has very little tonal connection with the work its based on. On the other hand, however, you have Batman Forever, which, while not as bad as Batman & Robin, is still considered one of the worst comic book movies ever made....

Since then, Jeff Wadlow's Tweets from the set don't seem as frequent, but we do have some updates on the project, including an official synopsis, courtesy of Universal, and one recent set photo. ...

Morris Chestnut has two brand new roles to add to his resume. Though we won't see him on-screen again until the Steve Gordon-directed comedy Identity Thief comes out next year, he will be using that time to play key roles in both The Hive and Kick-Ass 2. The former is about a 911 operator who must work to try and help a kidnapped teenage girl while the latter is a sequel to the 2010 comic book movie with Aaron Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz....

Kick-Ass Stars In Talks To Return For Sequel

When it was announced that Universal was making a deal so that it could create a sequel to Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass there was a lot of rejoicing among fans, but the news came with a catch: none of the principal actors, including Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz and and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, had contracts that would guarantee their return for Kick-Ass 2. Well, we can all breathe a sigh of relief now because apparently Universal knows that making the film would be pointless without the original cast....

Mark Millar Finally Admits Kick-Ass 2 Might Have To Move Forward Without Matthew Vaughn

As much as I really liked Kick-Ass (it was one of my favorites in 2010), it's hard not to see the writing on the wall. Lionsgate, who picked up the project for distribution in the United States, wasn't very happy about the movie's domestic performance, where it made less than $50 million, so they probably wouldn't be in too much of a rush to pick up a sequel....
