Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn has revealed that a Hit-Girl prequel film is in development.
Vaughn told that he's "not happily done with the [Kick-Ass] franchise." He went on to reveal the following: "We’re working on an idea for a prequel of how did Hit Girl [sic] and Big Daddy become Hit Girl and Big Daddy...If we make that, hopefully that will be the sorbet for the people that didn’t like ‘Kick-Ass 2’ and then we can go off and make ‘Kick-Ass 3’."
Addressing the mixed response to Kick-Ass 2 -- which opened to only $13.3 million stateside -- Vaughn expressed his hopes for the Hit-Girl movie to save the franchise, noting, "I think we’ve got to do this prequel to regain the love that we had with ‘Kick-Ass’."
We have heard about a Hit-Girl movie before, though it had previously seemed to be an unlikely proposition. It looks like that is no longer the case.
What are your thoughts on a Hit-Girl prequel? Can't we all admit it'd be great to see Nicolas Cage back as Big Daddy? Sounds off in the comments below!
