Things seem to be moving at a steady pace on Kick-Ass 2 now it's been officially announced that Matthew Vaughn won’t be returning to direct, with Jeff Wadlow on directorial duties instead. The principal cast have tentatively revealed that they’ll be returning, and now it’s on to Aaron Johnson, who has the following to say about the sequel:
“It’s pretty much set to go, this fall, I think, now Chloë [Moretz] and Chris [Mintz-Plasse] are on board. I’m certainly set up to do it. Jeff Wadlow is to direct. Yeah, I think it’s going to happen.”
When asked I it would be a hard R he said:
“It keeps the standard from the first film."
This is hardly insightful and no surprise given the content of the source material and the comments Mark Millar made about the film recently.
He concluded by responding to the demand for a sequel on the back of the popularity of the first film:
“I think that’s why Matthew Vaughn has got his name all over this one, as well, the only way he was ever going to make a sequel was if it could be anywhere close to the first one, and keep that class and that quality, and just maintain something original and new and refreshing. And this script delivers all of that, right now. I’m excited to get back in the suit.”
