"I had no idea if this was going to happen," Christopher Mintz-Plasse told
Collider in a recent interview while promoting animated movie
Paranorman.
"It didn't seem like it, especially now that Chloe is like, what, is she 37 now? [Laughs] But no, they hey wrote an incredible script. I think she’s going into 9th grade in this which is really smart. They didn’t keep her 11 as she was in the first one. They kind of aged it up a bit. And it’s super violent and bloody and funny and it’s got a great cast. I’m really excited. I fly out to London in a week to get started."
As for when exactly he begins working on director Jeff Wadlow's big screen adaptation of comic book writer Mark Millar and artist John Romita Jr.'s
Kick-Ass 2 (which will also include elements from the
Hit-Girl miniseries) he told the site the following.
"I'm flying out there next week to get started on rehearsals and wardrobe and stuff and then I think we start shooting September. It's going to be busy because I'm flying back and forth because I'm shooting a show for CBS as well, so I'll be shooting a couple of weeks September, fly back, go out again in October for like a week, come back, and then go out again in November for a couple of weeks."
"You know I think so, but I think they did that purposely," the actor revealed when asked if the time which has elapsed since the release of the last film will effect the story in this one.
"I think that they did that strictly because Chloe is older now and they had to age her up, but that works." And as for whether or not he gets to take part in any more action scenes this time around, he added,
"Oh yeah, it's like, I don't want to ruin anything, but it's kind of like 'Warriors' meets 'Kick-Ass'. That's like the theme for this. It's gonna be intense."
