Kick-Ass & Hit-Girl Movie Reboot Coming From Original Director

Kick-Ass

OriginalKick - Assmovie theater director Matthew Vaughn is planning to reboot the series , with further plans for a Hit - Girl spinoff in the mix . Superhero films had only begun to take hold of Hollywood when the firstKick - Asshit dramatic art and , for link up reasons , Vaughn ’s efforts to subvert the literary genre did n’t have quite the ethnic shock thatDeadpoolachieved when it arrived six years afterward . It did , however , plunge Vaughn onto openhanded laughable rule book ventures likeX - Men : First Classand theKingsmanmovies , and now the film maker is come full rope by returning to the Mark Millar property that started it all .

The big screen iterations of Kick - Ass and Hit - Girl have been sitting on ice sinceKick - Ass 2earned a tepid reception back in 2013 , though their amusing playscript are another account . Millar has been hard at work relaunching theKick - Asscomics make since he fructify up shop at Netflix last twelvemonth and has since infix the world to Patience Lee , the new Kick - Ass and a case whom bothMillar and Tessa Thompson require to see brought to lifeby theThor : Ragnarokstar .

Count Rumford may get her shot too , as Vaughn strongly hinted in his consultation withEmpirethat hisKick - Assreboot will feature Lee . He also mention that early word are underway about a Hit - Girl movie , which could either focus on her puerility under Big Daddy ’s watch or bring Chloë Grace Moretz back as an older Mindy Macready . Both film will be grow at Vaughn ’s newly - formed Marv Studios , assume the pair of them eventually come to pass .

Even in today ’s crowded populace of superhero movies , there ’s arguably room forKick - Assand its tearing irreverence to make a comeback . With calls maturate louder for a more inclusive approach to the musical style when it comes to both race and gender , a Patience Lee - frontedKick - Assreboot and Hit - Girl spinoff would for sure go the bill . Vaughn ’s cheeky sensibility further lend themselves well to that universe , so his return to the world ofKick - Assis likewise welcome .

It will be interesting to see if the Kick - Ass and Hit - Girl reboot becomes part of a wave of lower - budgeted superhero film that pushes the boundaries of the genre . Blumhouse and Lionsgate are endeavour to do just that with theirSpawnandHellboyreboots , both of which are R - rated superhero horror / thriller that can take a corner that neither the MCU , DCEU , nor even theDeadpoolmovies necessarily can . With Vaughn further returning toKick - Ass , the hereafter is looking bright for those like their funny book motion-picture show on the down - and - dirty side .
