Now we all probably heard the rumors from a month ago where all the sudden Jim Carrey has renounced the violence of Kick-Ass 2 so all I have to say is the following to him. New to this second installment, funny man Jim Carrey joins the all-star cast along with fresh, new faces such as Donald Faison, Robert Emms, Lindy Booth, Daniel Kaluuya, Olga Kurkulina and many more…even John Leguizamo. Returning from the original 2010 film, we are treated to the likes of Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, my favorite young actress Chloe Grace Moretz, Yancy Butler, Lyndsy Fonseca and the hilarious Clark Duke and sort of Augustus Prew (who’s filling the role of Todd vacated by Evan Peters). And this is where our story begins…īefore we go any farther, I think we need to pump the brakes and take a closer look at this all-star cast in Kick-Ass 2. As the timeline grows, the superheroes start getting treated like vigilantes (think Batman or Spider-Man) and basically anyone wearing a mask is thrown in jail…no questions asked. Stripes and Stars, but instead of it being for the better good of the city, he resurrects a super-villain army to hunt down and extract revenge on Kick-Ass for killing his father (referring to events at the end of the first film). We will just call him TMF from here on out so we don’t have to keep messing with those ridiculous edits and top row symbols. Meanwhile, Hit-Girl has chosen (more like has been forced) to retire and lead a normal life while Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) has reincarnated and re-dubbed himself as The Mother F#$ker (edited for the littler readers of this site). Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey) forms a special all-star team of heroes (think a Kick-Ass version of Justice League) and asks Kick-Ass (Aaron Johnson) to join them. Inspired by events in the first film, residents of the city begin donning masks and wearing costumes to partake in…you guessed it…crime fighting! Col. The premise here is simple and I think I can effectively cover the whole basis of the movie without spoiling anything. The only difference this time out is we are minus Nicholas Cage and Matthew Vaughn, who directed the first film, is now a co-producer as Jeff Wadlow takes helm of everything we see onscreen. And like it’s predecessor, Kick-Ass 2 is a superhero action comedy based on the comic book of the same name and the series known simply as Hit-Girl, which bridges the gaps between the first movie and the rise of the costumed heroes within the second film, by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. They could have been a little more creative with that title, but I’m overjoyed this puppy is now in fruition and seeing the light of day. Honestly, I was unsure if this day would ever happen, but the sequel to 2010’s Kick-Ass is finally here!!! And it’s aptly named… Kick-Ass 2. A day that feels like it took forever to come.
