The first Kick-Ass hasn’t even hit cinemas yet (it’s out at the end of March), but already comic writer Mark Millar is talking up a sequel.
Riding on the back of many a positive screening, Millar is optimistic that a comic book sequel will get the greenlight.
“Red Mist becomes the Joker to [ Kick-Ass ], you know? But we’re talking about another villain as well. So he’ll almost be a sidekick to this other guy.
“My working [ name is ] somewhere between the motherfucker and the cunts. That’s the two names I’m thinking of. I mean, it’s better than the Joker, isn’t it?”
Which all sounds awesomely awesome. We loved the first Kick-Ass , with its slick visuals and its clever comic book in-jokes, so more of the same is definitely an exciting promise.
No word if this comic sequel will get the big screen treatment, or if director Matthew Vaughan and screenwriter Jane Goldman would go for it. But after they obviously had so much fun with the first, we can’t imagine they’d say no if asked.
