If you are a fan of John Romita Jr., then you are probably aware of his attempt to break the world's record for signing autographs in Las Vegas. During this world record attempt, a facebook user got to ask Romita about the status of the second Kick-Ass movie.
Unlike Mark Millar, he gave some very definite sounding information. According to Romita the deals have been signed and the production will ramp-up this Summer for a May 2013 release.
The one thing on everyone's mind is the status of Chloe Moretz. Will she be in the movie? She has grown up quite a bit since the first film and may not fit into role that she had. There is also the fact that she is looking to fit The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea onto her calendar somewhere this year, after filming Carrie in June.
I guess the producers could pull a Don Cheadle and replace her with another up-and-comer though.
Also of note is the fact that the film may contain an animated sequence which Romita also said that he’d like to take charge of for the film, but the details of that are still up in the air.
Stay tuned for more information as it develops...
