Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall sequel greenlit
Here's what Mark Millar said on the show, as transcribed by website Bleeding Cool:
"The estimate is [Kick-Ass] will do 100 to 150 million on DVD based on the American sales, you know, so it'll end up making a quarter of a billion on a 28 million investment. So It should be okay. So the sequel's greenlit, we can go ahead and do the follow up now, you know? The first made so much compared to what it cost it would be crazy not to."
Director Matthew Vaughn is expected to make Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall his next project after he finishes work on X-Men: First Class, which hits theaters June 3rd of 2011. Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse have all expressed interest in returning for the sequel.
We'll be sure to keep you posted with any further details on Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall as they're made available.
Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall comes to theaters in 2012 and stars Aaron Johnson, Lyndsy Fonseca, Chloe Moretz, Clark Duke, Evan Peters. The film is directed by Matthew Vaughn.

Technically that's called a tetralogy, @Boxofficepants, but people like "quad" better, I guess.

Red Mist's new name is Motherf*cker so I can't wait for the next film. Nic was badass but it's a memorable one film appearance; not like Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin who appeared in the entire trilogy after dying in the first.

@TheReal: Oh, I fully agree that Big Daddy's story was complete and requires no more intervention - but, he was my favorite character, and if they threw a few scenes Nic's way, I wouldn't complain. On that note: Nic Cage really needs to stick to more dramatic, ludicrous, and manic roles, like Adaptation, and Matchstick Men - some of my personal favorites. His next movie: Drive Angry. Really? God damn it, Cage... ;P

@ZanyZap I respect that idea, but I'm gonna disagree. His story was told enough for me, they don't really need to revisit his character. Much prefer they just move forward.

As much as I loathe the existence of unneeded flashbacks in movies, especially when it's only to exploit a dead character (overkill, right? ;P), they should bring back Cage's character - he can be mentoring Hit Girl, like a guardian angel or whatever. (Okay, that's a dumb scenario, but you get the idea).
