2010's Kick-Ass, which was based on Mark Millar's comic of the same name, was the sort of movie that had no business becoming as big as it did. Not only was it a rare R-rated comic book movie, but it was also based on something relatively obscure. But, for some reason, the film went on to make nearly $100 million at the global box office against a modest $30 million budget, which paved the way for a sequel.
Unfortunately, due to the mixed reviews and lower box office take of the 2013 sequel, a third Kick-Ass film never happened.
While Kick-Ass 3 will probably never happen, the first film's director, Matthew Vaughn, just confirmed that a reboot is coming by 2024 if not 2025.
The unannounced Kick-Ass reboot is "ready to go"
In a world where most comic book films are planned several years before their actual premier (you can thank the MCU for that), it can be quite surprising to hear that one is coming in the next two years despite very few details about it. However, this is exactly what's happening with the reboot of Kick-Ass.
