Kick Ass 2 Talks Have Begun: Plans For Production to Start in August

In other sequel news, Universal have announced that they are in talks to create a “Kick Ass 2”, probably based in large part to the just finished sequel mini-series of the same name.

Most likely in an attempt to ride the press tsunami that is Avengers, discussions to start production on Kick Ass 2 in August were said to have started. Kick Ass 1 director Matt Vaughn is unavailable to direct this go around due to commitments to X-Men: First Class 2, so the studio has asked script author Jeff Wadlow to give it a spin. Hopefully there will not be any fucking jetpacks… leave those to The Rocketeer.

The deal is rumored to be pretty close to being wrapped up.

This news begs the question “why all the 2’s”? Do you think that the comic-movie genre needs more sequels to expand their universe or do you feel that more first run stories need to be fleshed out in film. Will we ever see Spider-<an or Wolverine sharing the screen with Iron Man? Probably not. Can’t we work on making these happen instead of sequels to movies we didn’t want to see the first time (as the box office proved)?
