New Kick-Ass 2 pictures show off Hit-Girl, Jim CarreyI loved the original Kick-Ass comic. It was classic Mark Millar, the John Romita, Junior art fit the content wonderfully, and it had a little girl that cut dudes to ribbons. The sequel was considerably darker, as it should be given the ending of the first series (which was nearly identical to the film's end scene), but still quite entertaining. The film adaptation of the original was okay, but certainly left some to be desired. And that stupid, stupid jetpack. Argh. On the bright side, the next installment of the film franchise is taking shape nicely and there's more pictures to prove it. Millar describes it as the "Empire Strikes Back of DIY vigilante carnage," and if you've read the comic, you know that is quite apt. Aside from Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, and Jim Carrey, Kick-Ass 2 also features Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Clark Duke, Donald Faison, John Leguizamo, Olga Kurkulina, and Nicolas Cage, who will presumably appear in flashbacks only, considering his character Big Daddy was last seen as a crispy critter in the first film. Check out the pictures in the gallery and the synopsis below. June 28th can't come soon enough. [Via Collider]
