Casting directors are on the hunt for a very specific type of lady for Universal's follow up to Mathew Vaughn's Kick-Ass - a big one! Moviehole report that they are currently searching for an actress - “extremely tall, large, fit female of 25 to 40" - to play the par of Mother Russia, bodyguard to the Red Mist character played by Christopher Mintz-Plasse..
"Classic Villain. An ex-KBG officer who is now being paid by the week by Chris to fight in his group — she is easily the most skilled and just a ruthless killer in general. Described as a ‘roided-out female bodybuilder, she needs to be extremely physically imposing and muscular, though still come across as feminine. As tall as possible (6ft and over only). Indicate height on submission.”
Good luck! Jeff Wadlow will direct
Kick-Ass 2, which will begin shooting this September in Toronto and London. Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Plasse are all set to return.
