Matthew Vaughn, director of the Kick-Ass film franchise, is teasing the reboot movie and saying that none of the previous actors are coming back but leaves the door open for future installments.
“Kick-Ass changed people’s perception of what a superhero film is. We’re doing it again,” Vaughn said during a panel at New York Comic Con, per EW. “None of the other characters from the other Kick-Ass are in it, though we’d like to have them back after the reboot. I can’t really talk about it, but it’s fun!”
Kick-Ass is a 2010 film directed by Vaughn from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jane Goldman, based on the comic book created by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The first installment starred Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloë Grace Moretz, Mark Strong and Nicolas Cage. A sequel would follow in 2013 with Jim Carrey joining the cast as Sal Bertolinni, also known as Colonel Stars and Stripes.
It was in 2018 when Vaughn first started teasing he was working on a reboot and hinted that Patience Lee, the African-American single mother who assumes the vigilante mantle in the comics could be the character to take center stage in the movie.
During the same NYCC panel, Vaughn was asked about the future of the Kingsman film franchise, which he said it was not over.
“We’ve got to get on with Kingsman 3 because I was joking that Colin [Firth] is going to end up being a portrait on the side while Taron is Arthur,” he said. “So we are working on that at the moment.”
