Matthew Vaughn Confirms Plans For HIT-GIRL Movie And Possibly KICK-ASS 3
Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn has revealed that he is indeed plotting a Kick-Ass prequel which would focus on Hit-Girl, and if that manages to restore faith in the franchise, they'll move ahead with Kick-Ass 3. Hit the jump for his comments in full...
While fielding fan questions for Yahoo! Movies, Kingsman: The Secret Service helmer Matthew Vaughn confirmed that he's "not happily done with the [Kick-Ass] franchise," and that there are indeed plans for a Hit-Girl movie (which Mark Millar said earlier this year will be set in far East and directed by "someone like Gareth Evans"). "We’re working on an idea for a prequel of how Hit Girl and Big Daddy become Hit Girl and Big Daddy...If we make that, hopefully that will be the sorbet for the people that didn’t like ‘Kick-Ass 2’ and then we can go off and make ‘Kick-Ass 3’."
Kick-Ass 2 received a mixed response from critics and was far from a hit, and Vaughn admitted that they'll need to use the Hit-Girl movie to restore faith in the Kick-Ass franchise. "I think we’ve got to do this prequel to regain the love that we had with ‘Kick-Ass’." Watch the video below for more.
