Before Aaron Taylor-Johnson brings the masked vigilante Kick-Ass back to the screen in June's movie sequel Kick-Ass 2, the final chapter of Dave Lizewski's costumed crime-fighting career will get underway in comic book form, with a new teaser for Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s Kick-Ass 3 revealing that the storyline will begin this coming May. Here's the teaser, courtesy of Bloody Disgusting:
While the plot for Kick-Ass 3 has been kept under wraps, writer Mark Millar has recently hinted at what's in store for the characters whilst discussing the planned film adaptation of the comic book: "Kick-Ass 3 is going to be the last one though. I told Universal this and they asked me, ‘What does that mean?’ I said, ‘It means that this is where it all ends.’ They said, ‘Do they all die at the end?’ I said, ‘Maybe’ – because this is a realistic superhero story. And if someone doesn’t have a bullet proof vest like Superman and doesn’t have Batman’s millions then eventually he is going turn around the wrong corner and get his head kicked in or get shot in the face [laughs]. So Kick-Ass needs to reflect that. There has to be something dramatic at the end, he cannot do this for the rest of his life."
