it became a new type of genre." Vaughn further explained that the "Kick-Ass" reboot will be unlike anything "anyone could be imagining" and said that he is "going to need one very, very brave actor or actress to play the new Kick-Ass because it will scare the sh*t out of them."Ģ010's "Kick-Ass" starred Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Dave Lizewski (aka Kick-Ass), Chloe Grace Moretz as Mindy Macready (aka Hit-Girl), and Nicolas Cage as Damon Macready (aka Big Daddy) (via IMDb). However, Vaughn went on to detail his reasons for calling the upcoming iteration a reboot rather than "Kick-Ass 3," saying, "Because I think the clue is in the title. However, in a recent interview with, Vaughn teased an upcoming return to a corner of the "Millarverse" fans of "Kick-Ass" know well. The franchise has sadly been dormant ever since.
Sadly, the second film in the franchise (which was not directed by Vaughn) did not prove nearly as successful during its 2013 release, earning only $60 million on a similar budget (via Box Office Mojo). While some objected to the use of such language by a then-13-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz (via Digital Spy), the film's worldwide box office haul didn't seem to mind, earning more than $96 million on a $30 million budget (via Box Office Mojo). Vaughn first explored this world in 2010 with the release of "Kick-Ass" (via IMDb), which blew audiences away with its bloody violence, excessive swearing and general, all-around crudeness. In addition to introducing most of the world to Taron Egerton for the first time, the film granted Vaughn another hit in the so-called "Millarverse", the catch-all phrase for film and television productions that originate from the comic books of writer Mark Millar. While critics don't appear to be taking kindly to "The King's Man," few could argue with the franchise's staying power after the 2014 release of "Kingsman: The Secret Service" (via IMDb).
At the moment, director Matthew Vaughn is promoting the latest entry in one of his most successful film properties, the "Kingsman" franchise.
