Na veel gedoe en een hoop geruchten werd eerder deze maand eindelijk bekend dat het vervolg op Kick-Ass in handen is van Universal Pictures en dat zij met Jeff Wadlow een nieuwe regisseur op het project hebben gezet. Die regisseur, die reeds een script heeft geschreven van de tweede Kick-Ass comic van Mark Millar, sprak tijdens een panel op het Kapow! Comic Convention over Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall.

Wadlow over het eerste en toekomstige tweede deel: "I think the most important thing that's gonna change from the Kick-Ass 2 comic to Kick-Ass 2 the movie was just really finding an emotional story to tell. Because what I certainly loved about the first film, and what I think elevated it above most comic book adaptations, is the heart and the emotion in the film. It was sort of my challenge as the film maker and storyteller to find something as emotional in the second film and I think we have some stuff that people are gonna really respond to."

Hieronder volgt een spoiler mocht je de comic nog willen lezen. Over de terugkeer van het personage en fan-favorite Hit Girl, gespeeld door Chloe Moretz zegt de regisseur: "Well, nothing is official yet. But I had breakfast with Chloe two weeks ago and she's read the script and she's very excited about what we're doing with Hit-Girl. If you've read the comic, you know, she gives up being Hit-Girl, which was a brilliant idea I thought on Mark's part. It's something I explore something quite deeply in the movie because what happens in the comic is she sort of steps away from the story in many ways and she's sort of sidelined while Dave is working with Justice Forever and Chris is becoming the Motherf***er. But I was quite interested in what happens to her when she's not being Hit-Girl. Her story is a major, major part of the film and she's excited about the ideas and we're in talks."

Het is nog onduidelijk wanneer de wannabe superheldenfilm in de bioscoop moet verschijnen. Vermoedelijk eind 2013 of begin 2014.
