Peep It: First ‘Kick Ass 2’ Image!

Kick-Ass-2

Posted above is the first official image from Kick Ass 2, the surprise sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s 2010 adaptation of the Marvel/Icon comic about costumed crime fighters with no special powers. Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf, Never Back Down) is directing for Universal Pictures.

Entertainment Weekly scored the image which finds new superhero Kick Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) meeting up with Col. Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey) and his dog Sophia by a food cart. The film opens in theaters on June 28.

The film’s synopsis reads:

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 Fucker—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation.

When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first superhero team with Mindy.

Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire—leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother Fucker, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad.

Reprising their Kick Ass roles in the sequel are Chloe Grace Moretz as Hit Girl, Nicolas Cage as Big Daddy, Clark Duke as Marty/Battle Guy, Christopher Mintz-Plasse s Red Mist/Mother Fucker and the very hot Lyndsy Fonseca as Kick Ass’ sweetheart Katie Deauxma.

In addition to Carrey, new faces include John Leguizamo (The Happening) as Javier, Donald Faison (“Scrubs”) as Dr. Gravity, Morris Chestnut (The Call) as Sergeant Marcus Williams, Russian bodybuilder Olga Kurkulina as Mother Russia and sexy redhead Lindy Booth (Wrong Turn) as Night Bitch.
