It is worth remembering how, after driving the first Kick-Ass, Vaughn directed films like X-Men: First Class (2011) and Kingsman: Secret Service (2014). On the panel New York Comic Con (via The Hollywood Reporter), the director spoke about upcoming projects, such as a musical, Kingsman 3 It is Kick-Ass with different characters.

“Kick-Ass It kind of changed people’s perception of what a superhero movie was at that time. So we’ll do it again. There will be no other characters Kick-Ass,” he stated. “We would like to bring them back after the reboot, which is going off on a tangent that I can’t talk about right now. But it’s fun.”

As reported by the website Earth, Moretz spoke to Jimmy Fallonfrom the program The Tonight Show on Tuesday, December 7, about the franchise. Despite not confirming that there will, in fact, be a new film of the story, the star explained that he is curious to see the character Hit-Girl as an adult.

“I think it would be really fun to see where Hit-Girl arrived and how she is as an adult, but it would have to be perfect,” he explained. He then revealed that, for it to happen, for example, the stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Dave Lizewski – Kick-Ass) It is Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Chris D’Amico – Red Mist) would need to return, as well as “the entire team”.
