With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy.Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire-leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)-reborn as The Mother F%&*^r-only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. Here's the official synopsis for Kick-Ass 2: If you missed it, click here for 6 new high-resolution images and the first poster for the film.
The film also stars Clark Duke, Donald Faison, John Leguizamo, and Olga Kurkulina. The CGI is pretty iffy in places, but the fight scenes and performances look great, with Jim Carrey essentially unrecognizable as Colonel Stars and Stripes. Mintz-Plasse looks to have gone delectably full-evil in the follow-up, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how his character progresses throughout the film. The plot appears to revolve around the preparations for a showdown between Kick-Ass/Hit Girl and Christopher Mintz-Plasse's newly minted "The Motherfucker," as both sides are building up their own armies of heroes/villains. The trailer opens with a fight/dialogue scene between Aaron Johnson's Kick-Ass and Chloe Moretz's Hit Girl that brings us right back into the Kick-Ass world, and it sure does feel good to be back. Universal has released the first red-band trailer for director Jeff Wadlow's sequel Kick-Ass 2. KICK-ASS 2 Starring Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Jim Carrey.
