With filming well underway on Kick-Ass 2, Universal Pictures has taken the opportunity to release a rather detailed plot synopsis for the Jeff Wadlow-directed superhero sequel, which you can check out right here...Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) 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 (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) 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.
In addition to Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloe Grace Moretz and Jim Carrey, the film is set to star Clark Duke as Marty / Battle Guy, Lyndsy Fonseca as Katie Deuxma, Donald Faison as Doctor Gravity, Lindy Booth as Night Bitch, Robert Emms as Insect Man, John Leguizamo as Javier, Andy Nyman as The Tumour, Olga Kurkulina as Mother Russia, Daniel Kaluuya as Black Death, Morris Chestnut as Marcus Williams and Claudia Lee as Brooke, while Nicolas Cage is also expected to reprise his role as Big Daddy for a flashback sequence.
Kick-Ass 2 is set for release in North America on June 28th, 2013 ahead of a UK opening on July 19th.
