Explosive new trailer for Kick-Ass 2

6 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

With Warner Bros.' Man of Steel dominating the global box office, Universal Pictures has taken the opportunity to release an explosive new trailer for its own upcoming superhero offering Kick-Ass 2, which sees director Jeff Wadlow (Never Back Down) picking up the reins from Matthew Vaughn to continue the big screen adventures of the costumed crime-fighters Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz). Check out the new trailer after the official synopsis....

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes, our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist —reborn as The Mother F%&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation.

New 'Kick-Ass 2' Trailer: Hit-Girl Gets Her Hits In, Kick-Ass Goes Shirtless

7 hours ago | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

A new trailer for "Kick-Ass 2" is here, though it doesn't offer much more than what we saw in the red band clip released in March.

Despite the familiar territory, it's fun to see our heroes back in action, and the new promo offers plenty. Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) taunts Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor Johnson) to punch her before beating the crap out of him. Col. Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey) shows up and promptly bashes a baddy's brains in with a baseball bat.

"Try to have fun," the colonel implores the gang. "Otherwise, what's the point?"

Christopher Mintz-Plasse is back as the bad guy, trading his Red Mist moniker for a new profanity-laced identity (you'll have to check out the red band clip for that), and he's still bent on taking down Kick-Ass and company as one of the world's first real supervillains. Good thing Kick-Ass has some impressive new abs to help him out. »

Kick-Ass 2 Trailer And Featurette Bring On The Superhero Mayhem

8 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Thanks to the success of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, the 2000s saw a powerful resurgence in the superhero genre.

But after 2009 brought Zack Synder's controversial adaptation of Watchmen and the critically loathed atrocity X-Men Origins: Wolverine, industry watchers were speculating that superheroes were back on their way out. This was the cold climate that the R-rated independently financed Kick-Ass came into. Many fans of superhero movies enjoyed this dark twists on the genre's convention. And while concerned parents wagged their fingers at the expletive-spouting Hit-Girl, she proved the part that made Chloe Moretz a star. Still, with mixed reviews and a modest box office total of $96 million, it was unclear if Kick-Ass and his colleagues would ride again.

10 hours ago | The Wrap | See recent The Wrap news »

The non-super heroes are back to fight the bad guys, and this time they're bringing along a barely recognizable Jim Carrey as Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Universal Pictures has released a new trailer for "Kick-Ass 2," and after watching it, you will never mess with a 15-year-old girl again -- especially one who for some reason can ride a motorcycle the way that Mindy Macready (Chloe Grace Moretz) can.

Bryan Singer on Fox's Marvel universe and competing with Marvel Studios

19 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Director Bryan Singer is currently bringing together 20th Century Fox's two X-Men timelines as cameras roll on next year's time-travelling mutant epic X-Men: Days of Future Past, but the studio itself has bigger plans afoot, bringing in acclaimed comic book writer and producer Mark Millar (Kick-Ass) to serve as creative consultant as it attempts to replicate the success of Marvel Studios' with its own shared movie universe.

Of course, given the fact Fox only has the rights to X-Men and The Fantastic Four (which is being rebooted in 2015 under Chronicle helmer Josh Trank), the studio will be hoping that the uncanny world of the X-Men provides enough of a pool of heroes to spearhead this universe. Speaking to SFX (via ComicBookTherapy), Singer has spoken briefly about Millar's role, as well as his own plans to develop the X-Men universe which he launched himself back in 2000:

With a slew of tentpoles like “Despicable Me 2″ and “2 Guns” still slated to bow, “Kick-Ass 2″ will try to draw the same audience that helped films like “The Expendables” movies become such big hits. Sources say the pic’s budget is in the same range as the original, around $30 million.

"I'm going to wipe my ass with your face."

If you're excited about Kick-Ass 2, here's a great behind the scenes look at the film featuring the cast and crew talking about the movie and shooting some scenes. According to MTV, the scene they are filming here is the big showdown between the superheroes and supervillains.

It was the first of a brutal four-day shoot surrounding the epic showdown between Lizewski and D'Amico's gangs. Every single one of the costumed cast members was sweating bullets as they engaged in take after take of epic battle, all in the middle of what's easily the single-largest set created for either "Kick-Ass" film. 

The Jeff Wadlow-directed film stars Aaron Taylor-JohnsonChloë Grace MoretzMorris Chestnut, John LeguizamoOlga Kurkulina, Clark DukeDonald Faison, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. It will be packed with blood, vulgarity, laughs, and heart.

It seems like just yesterday Chris D'Amico and  David "Dave" Lizewski were duking it out in 2010's "Kick-Ass," clad in pastel spandex and armed with vicious, vicious words.

Three years later, round two is right in audiences' reach. Yes, "Kick-Ass 2"  is prepared to kick some major box office ass when it hits theaters Aug. 16.  Dave (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), Chris (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and  Mindy Macready/Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) all return in the sequel, which is sure to provide eager fans with the same cuckoo bananas action and laughs as its predecessor. Dave, with freshly sharpened skills à la Hit-Girl, has joined the crime-fighting troupe known as Justice Forever. Meanwhile, Chris has his own villainous gang known as  The Toxic Mega C**ts. What a visual!

However, MTV couldn't wait until August. The cast of "Kick-Ass 2" let MTV News explore the set in October, and the findings were pretty. »

MTV was able to go on the set of Kick-Ass 2 and they were nice enough to share a video, which you can see below.

Here’s Kick-Ass himself, Aaron Taylor-Johnson on what writer/director Jeff Wadlow has done to up the ante for the second film:

MTV News' 'Kick-Ass 2' Set Visit...Well...Kicks Ass

17 June 2013 8:30 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

From MTV News

The first trailer for "Kick-Ass 2" let us know that not only are our favorite heroes and villains from the first movie making their triumphant return for a follow-up, but we also learned that they're bringing friends. But every group of super villains needs a lair to hangout in and host epic showdowns with heroes. That's exactly what MTV News went to see when we headed to the London set of "Kick-Ass 2."

Josh Wigler sneaked into the headquarters of the villain formerly known as "Red mist" — and now known as something much more Nsfw — to see how the final showdown would go down.

But the new movie won't be all butt kicking. MTV News spoke with some of the stars to see how things have changed since the first "Kick-Ass."

Chloe Grace Moretz filled us in on how we'll see the characters behind Kick-Ass and Hit Girl grow in the sequel. »
