Universal Taking Over 'Kick-Ass' Franchise?
Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s graphic novel 'Kick-Ass' turned out to be a hilarious and thoroughly entertaining R-rated superhero story. The cliffhanger at the end of the film, coupled with subsequent movie news blurbs, seemed to indicate that we'd be getting a sequel. But would Vaughn be returning to direct part two? Up until recently, it looked like he was trying to balance 'Kick-Ass 2' with the followup to his 'X-Men: First Class' so that he could do both, but that appears to no longer be the case. 'Kick-Ass' was a Lionsgate production, but apparently became a sort of free agent after that with Vaughn controlling. Vaughn is now looking to hand over the reigns to director Jeff Wadlow ('Cry_Wolf') who also penned the script for the sequel. Universal is in talks to produce the film, which they intend to start shooting in August. Chloe Moretz, Aaron Johnson, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are all in discussion to reprise their roles. No official deals have been made as of this posting.
As much as I loved 'Kick-Ass,' I'm not sure how excited I am for a sequel. For one thing, I thought the first film was a nicely compact story and don't really feel there's more to mine from it cinematically. Also, without spoiling anything, my favorite character from the first film is assuredly not going to be appearing in the sequel, so again, I'm not clamoring for a second installment. And when you add to all of that the fact that Matthew Vaughn isn't able to direct due to his 'X-Men: First Class' sequel commitments, my interest level diminishes even more. So who do they get to replace him? The guy who directed the epitome of terrible PG-13 horror films. Sources close to the situation seem confident that a deal will be closed imminently, so there is the very real possibility Universal could springboard this into a franchise with further sequels to follow. What do you guys think?
Are you still interested in 'Kick-Ass 2?' Is Wadlow a fair trade for Vaughn? Could you see this becoming a franchise?

Loved the graphic novel but the only half the first movie was decent, the rest fucking sucked so I'm nowhere close to wanting a sequel.

The Kick Ass comic sequel is fucking awful. Millar in general is fucking awful, and turning his grimdark rape fest on its head was the only way to turn the thing around to make a decent movie so they better find a director that isn't going to take the piece of shit comic seriously.

Please choose someone else to direct! I loved the Kick Ass 2 comic and Mclovin's character is a totally evil in it. His character is the perfect villain, especially for this world. A story about a teenage punk trying to be a super hero faces off against another teenage punk who takes the opposite route. As the actor though is where Im worried. I dont know if Mr. Mclovin can pull of being as wicked as his character in the books. But again only think Im worried about is the Director, please get someone with a better track record!

ummm, could be cool? Certainly wouldn't be the first time a guy who's made a terrible movie went on to do something awesome, who knows. Either way, I still own and love the first one, a sequel won't change that.

I loved the first Kick-Ass, but to be honest I don't really care if they make a sequel, if they do, fine, I'll go see it, but even if it's bad it doesn't diminish the quality of the original, so I guess what I'm saying is, go ahead.

The first Villain in kick ass was pretty weak...just a typical gangster...no depth...Mclovin is a HORRIBLE choice to be the main Villain...in the start of the next movie...Kickass should just kill this guy and then they move on to another Villain

I actually kind of do want a Kick Ass sequel, but I want Vaughn.

I'm sorry, Mclovin is not a good villain.

Kick-Ass… kicked ass. But whether they make the sequel or not, that I am indifferent to it.
