‘Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall’ Will Begin Production In 2011?

CLiNT is a new monthly anthology magazine that Millar is spearheading. “I’ve worked on everything from Spider-Man comics to the Iron Man movie for Marvel in New York,” Millar said in the release, “but what really excites me is the gap I see in the UK market at the moment. There are absolutely no comic-books aimed at 16-30 year old guys and I think CLiNT has potential to make an enormous impact, bringing a new type of magazine to a new generation.” The magazine will feature interviews and write-ups encompassing all forms of entertainment, along with four serialized comic strips.

The press release announcing the magazine’s launch also features this tidbit:

Millar is also launching his sequel to the hit Kick-Ass movie in the first issue of the comic. “Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall” has been scheduled for production in 2011 for a 2012 cinema release

I was a huge fan of Kick-Ass and would love to see these characters return to the screen again. Hopefully, Millar and the filmmakers can make it happen. For more details on what a sequel might involve, check out our past coverage.

Side note, by the way: The phrase “balls to the wall” actually has nothing to do with testicles, although I suspect that Millar’s use of the term has the potential to be much more literal.
