Matthew Vaughn's New Kick-Ass Movie Makes Reboot Trilogy Plans More Confusing
Matthew Vaughn's new project is part of his Kick-Ass reboot trilogy, but it's only making the plans for Kick-Ass' return even more confusing.
Kick-Ass (2010)
When average teen Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) is mugged, he decides to take matters into his own hands and becomes the vigilante Kick-Ass. Armed with little more than a can-do attitude and nerve damage that makes him resistant to pain, the adolescent hero stumbles into a serious criminal organization. Teaming up with Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) and Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage), Kick-Ass works to take them down, despite the fact that he's in over his head.
