Hey everyone! Zach Who Watches Movies here to talk about some Kick-Ass news we got today! While talking to Yahoo Movies about the home release of Kingsman, Matthew Vaughn was asked about a potential return to the Kick-Ass franchise. Well fans got more than they could have asked for when Vaughn revealed plans for not just one, but two more movies that they plan to use to revitalize the universe.
When asked about coming back to the property that he kick started he revealed that he and Mark Millar (creator of the popular comic series) are currently working on a prequel type movie to try and bring fans back to what they loved about the first movie. Starting off by bringing back the fan favorite duo of Big Daddy and Hit Girl. Losing Big Daddy for the sequel really hurt that film so to go back to them is a perfect way to pump new life into these veins. This will be their origins story of how everything came together to make them into the killing machines they are. This is probabky the first origins story I've gotten excited for in a decade.
If their movie does well and is received well then they hope it will lead to a third installment in the Kick-Ass story. This is all fantastic news for all fans of the franchise and Matthew Vaughn. This is the perfect platform for his style and to know he is coming back to it excites the hell out of me. Say what you will about the sequel (I actually really enjoy it) but not having Vaughn in the writer or directors chair really hurt that film as a whole. Knowing he is writing the first movie right now with Millar and we can only hope he directs, I'm totally comfortable with a return to this world.
What do you guys think of this news? Are you excited for a return of the franchise and these characters? Or did the sequel just leave you feeling that it shoukd just stay dead?
