Mark Millar updates Kick-Ass 2

While fans have somewhat given up on a follow to Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, development on a sequel has been slowly moving lately. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Mark Millar gives an update on the film:
“When we do the ‘Kick-Ass 2′ movie the plot will combine ‘Hit-Girl’ and the ‘Kick-Ass 2′ comic. That was always the plan. There wasn’t room to do the whole sequel in a single comic series because it would have been a weighty 12 or 13 issues or something. The first act was always going to be the Hit-Girl comic, which is five issues long and takes place between the two volumes of the book. This series is maybe the first 20-30 pages of the next movie and of course ‘Kick-Ass 2′ ends as a comic in February with a big surprise. We’re all really pleased with it. Matthew’s producing and overseeing the whole thing, doing what Lucas did on ‘Empire’ and bringing in a trusted writer and director. He knows what he’s doing and we’re excited about what’s being planned here. As to when we go public with what’s happening I have no idea. I know what the schedule is they’re talking about, but ultimately, it’s up to him and the studio.”
