Kick-Ass 3 hinges on Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Return
Chloë Grace Moretz, a seasoned Hollywood actress with an array of iconic roles to her credit, has set a condition for her return to Kick-Ass 3 – the participation of her original co-star, Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Known for her performances in Kick-Ass, The 5th Wave, and The Equalizer, Moretz is keen on reprising her role as Hit-Girl only if Taylor-Johnson, who played the title character in the original Kick-Ass film, is on board.
Chloë Grace Moretz’s Journey with Kick-Ass Franchise
Moretz initially assumed the Hit-Girl role in the 2010 film Kick-Ass, starring alongside not just Taylor-Johnson, but also Christopher Mintz-Plasse, among others. The film, a superhero comedy, narrated the story of Taylor-Johnson’s character, a real-life hero superhero aspirant named Kick-Ass, who grapples with danger upon meeting Nicolas Cage’s Big Daddy and his daughter Hit-Girl, portrayed by Moretz.
In a 2021 conversation with Jimmy Fallon, Moretz shared her desire to see how her character, Hit-Girl, develops. “I would love to do Kick-Ass 3. I think it’ll be really fun to see where Hit-Girl goes and what she’s like as an adult,” said Moretz. However, she emphasized Taylor-Johnson’s involvement as a requisite: “It would have to be across the board, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Chris Mintz-Plasse and the whole crew back together.”
Unveiling the Upcoming Kick-Ass Reboot
Matthew Vaughn, the director of the original 2010 Kick-Ass film, ushered in 2024 by confirming a reboot of the franchise. In a statement to Collider, Vaughn revealed plans for a new trilogy for the R-rated superhero series. Filming of the first part, School Fight, is over, the second with a working title Vram is being shot, and Kick-Ass, the final installment, is in its script stage.
Vaughn has offered mere teasers about the reboot but refrained from divulging concrete details. Variables such as the cast or the release date of School Fight remain under wraps.
Chloë Grace Moretz’s Recent Projects
Amid being caught up in speculations about Kick-Ass 3, Moretz is not resting on her laurels. Most recently, she has been cast opposite Lupita Nyong’o in the forthcoming UFC-based film Strawweight. Besides, she’s also poised to star in TV series White Night sharing the screen with Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Oh. What. Fun with Michelle Pfeiffer.
The 27-year-old actress with over 70 roles on her career portfolio, that started at the tender age of seven, already has an impressive lineup of projects. Yet, her fans are eager to see her as Hit-Girl again in Kick-Ass 3. Whether Moretz’s Kick-Ass return will materialize indeed depends on her co-star Taylor-Johnson, who is gradually becoming Hollywood’s action movie favorite. Future developments will reveal if Moretz’s condition for Kick-Ass 3 is met, assuring another dose of superhero comedy for the franchise’s fans.
Kick-Ass can be streamed on Apple TV while Kick-Ass 2 is available on HBO Max. Stay tuned for more updates on the reimagined Kick-Ass trilogy and the potential comeback of Moretz as Hit-Girl.
