Talk about finding your happy place. I have been waiting for the arrival of Kick-Ass 2 ever since it was announced. Kick-Ass was one of my favorite movies in whatever year it came out, and ever since then I have been in love with the characters but when I heard Jim Carrey was going to play the anti-hero role of Colonel Stars and Stripes I knew director Jeff Wadlow (Never Back Down) would have a hit on his hands.
Kick-Ass 2 marks the return of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse as their characters grow a little older and inspire a new wave of heroes and villains. The red band trailer below has some great little bits and action scenes but not necessarily the sharpest jokes that the first film had. When you watch the trailer though, Jim Carrey is almost unrecognizable (due to his voice) and might be the only reason you need to see this film (I’ll see anything he’s in).
Check out the trailer below in all of its R rated glory and keep a close eye on all the outrageous new costumed heroes/villains, as I’m pretty sure I have found my Halloween costume for this year and you just might too. Fingers crossed Wadlow is able to match the greatness of Matthew Vaughn’s original.
Kick-Ass 2 hits theaters on August 16th.
Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)—reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.
When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.
Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.
