Kick-Ass 2 is a pretty hot topic at the moment, what with Jim Carrey withdrawing his support for the sequel due to his concerns over the level of violence in the film, so it seems a good time for Universal Pictures to step up its marketing campaign with a new viral video featuring Aaron Taylor-Johnson's costumed crime-figher recruiting for the superhero team Justice Forver. Check it out after the official synopsis...Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) and Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ 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. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist —reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation.
When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. 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. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.
Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.
