Kick-Ass 2 likely to move forward without Matthew Vaughn

At this point, fans have likely given up on getting to see Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall. The film was originally scheduled to be released next year, but development on the film version hasn’t even begun yet. However, Creator Mark Millar told Hero Complex the film could be happening, but you shouldn’t expect Matthew Vaughn to direct again. “Hopefully, we can use the same actors if and when we do a sequel, but getting Matthew [Vaughn] to direct or Jane [Goldman] to write a movie at this budget would be very difficult because they’re superstars now and they have projects of their own,” he said.

However, Millar isn’t even sure the film will happen anytime soon, but if it does, Vaughn most likely won’t be returning. “I’d imagine, if this happens any time soon, that Matthew will produce and possibly co-write, like George Lucas did with The Empire Strikes Back, and hire a new director,” he said. There’s also the issue of the actors growing up that will become a problem if it doesn’t move forward. “There’s a window because the actors are all supposed to be in high school and if this came out after 2013, for example, that window would have closed. I obviously know more than I can say, but I think people will be pretty happy with the conversations we’ve been having,” he said.
