Mark Millar Promises KICK-ASS 3 Will Be The Last Film

Mark Millar is looking to the future and has a bunch of his creator owned comics being turned into films. He already has Nemesis, Secret Service and Superior in development with major players involved. Millar was also recently hired by 20th Century Fox to consult their Marvel franchises. Kick-Ass 2 was picked up by Universal (Lionsgate released the original) who is also looking to make Wanted 2 with Millar. Mark revealed to SFX Magazine (via MTV) that he'll be wrapping things up in Kick-Ass 3 meaning there won't be anyone more films after the third one. It took material from both Kick-Ass 2 and Hit-Girl to end up with the sequel's script, so it just might be too time consuming to make more than three films. I'm not sure if this means that a Hit Girl film is off the table as well.

"'Kick-Ass 3' is going to be the last one," he said. "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."

Olga Kurkulina Wanted For KICK-ASS 2?

Jim Carrey has been confirmed as Colonel Stars and the casting news keeps rolling in. As bodybuilder/model Olga Kurkulina is being rumored (via CBM) for the role of Mother Russia. The character is the personal bodyguard of The Motherfucker and member of the Toxic Megacunts. Writer/director Jeff Wadlow had previously tweeted an image from one of the readings which seemingly confirms they've cast the role.

THR reports that actress Lindy Booth (Cry Wolf, Dawn of The Dead) is set to play Justice Forever member Night-Bitch in Kick-Ass 2.

'KICK-ASS 2' Could Move Forward At Universal With Jeff Wadlow Writing/Directing

Deadline is reporting that Universal is looking to pickup the sequel to Kick-Ass. Universal was the first studio to adapt Mark Millar's work with Wanted starring James McAvoy. They are currently also trying to figure out how to put Wanted 2 together as well. Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf) who also wrote a script for Matthew Vaughn's Bloodshot is writing Kick-Ass 2 with the hopes to also direct. Aaron Johnson, Chloe Mortez and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are currently in talks to reprise their roles. Wadlow was attached to direct the Liam Neeson actioner Non-Stop but Kick-Ass 2 is expected to shoot this summer. I assume Matthew Vaughn will stay on as a producer along with Mark Millar. The sequel based on the second run of the comic series involves a massive amount of new costumed heroes and villains.

Jane Goldman And Matthew Vaughn Won't Be Making Kick-Ass 2

Jane Goldman spoke to MTV about the possibility of returning for Kick-Ass 2. Goldman states that she more than likely won't be involved as a writer but as a producer. Matthew Vaughn could end up as a producer too and is currently talking with someone who could end up writing/directing the sequel.

“I think the only thing that is fairly sure is that right now, Matthew doesn’t have any plans to direct it. He and I are not currently talking about writing it either. It may well be that Matthew oversees ['Kick-Ass 2'] in a producer role, and I may also be involved in that capacity. I know that there is somebody that Matthew has been talking to who would be interested in writing and directing that. That would be cool.”

More Join Aubrey Plaza's The Hand Job

Bill Hader while talking with Collider gave an update on The Hand Job which his wife wrote the script for. The film will focus on 17 year old high school student played by Aubrey Plaza (Parks & Rec, Funny People) that wants to learn about various sexual activities before she goes to college. Similar to The Wackness the film is set during the early 90's.

Hader revealed that Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Kick-Ass, Superbad), Andy Samberg (SNL), Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development), Mae Whitman (Scott Pilgrim), Donald Glover (Community, Mystery Team), Johnny Simmons (Scott Pilgrim, Kick-Ass) and Connie Britton (Friday Night Lights) are all attached. It's a solid cast and could end up becoming a great comedy. I also wouldn't be shocked to see Hader himself make a cameo in the film. Keep an eye out for this one! I expect an excellent soundtrack as well.

Jane Goldman Currently Writing Kick-Ass 2?

TheDailyMail points out that screenwriter Jane Goldman (Stardust, Kick-Ass) is currently working on the script to Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall. I'm not sure how reliable the Mail is but Goldman is finished writing duties on both X-Men First Class and The Woman In Black. It's also the first source outside of Mark Millar stating there is development on the sequel.
