I kind of like the idea of that as well, because practically, we can come back a little later to all the characters in different places, so there's a potential story there at some point.
"So there's definitely no plans, maybe at some point in the future, we do have one last story to tell, which is the big finale storyline. "Matthew is one of my best friends, and we've no plans because I'm over at Netflix and he has deals over with Apple and Kick-Ass is Universal," Millar said. At the time, Millar said that various arrangements, including how busy he is at Netflix at the moment, made a third film rather unlikely.
Vaughn's declaration comes just weeks after Millar went on the record to say that a long-rumored third installment of the original Kick-Ass film series isn't in the cards at the moment, despite years of hopeful interviews in which the film's cast - which included rising stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloe Grace Moretz - suggested a third film might be possible.
All the rights revert back in two years and then we're going to reboot it where people will be like, he is insane.” He added, "It's so f***ing nuts that I can't talk about it. “We’ve got a big reboot of Kick-Ass in two years," Vaugh said. All of that left Kick-Ass on the back burner, but in a new interview with Collider, Vaughn teased that the franchise is going to make a comeback very soon. Vaughn moved on to First Class and has since been kept busy with Kingsman projects, while Millar has continued to create comics concepts through his Millarwold imprint and a still-expanding deal with Netflix. Created by Millar and artist John Romita Jr., Kick-Ass was an irreverent kick in the pants to superhero cinema, which hadn't yet reached the heights it has in the decade since, and the film was successful enough to spawn a sequel, particularly after it exploded on the home video market.Īfter 2013's Kick-Ass 2, though, both Millar and Vaughn moved on to other, bigger projects. Back in 2010, before upping the ante with the well-received prequel X-Men: First Class and launching a blockbuster superspy franchise with Kingsman: The Secret Service, director Matthew Vaughn and longtime co-writer Jane Goldman teamed up with comics icon Mark Millar for the first time with Kick-Ass.
