John Leguizamo has reportedly joined the cast of Kick-Ass 2.

The actor, who most recently appeared in the pilot for a US remake of Only Fools and Horses, will star alongside returning cast Aaron Johnson, Chloë Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse in the sequel.

Deadline reports that Leguizamo will play a bodyguard assigned to protect Mintz-Plasse's villainous Red Mist.

Nicolas Cage will also reprise his role in Kick-Ass 2, which will be helmed by writer-director Jeff Wadlow and will shoot this autumn.

Donald Faison is in negotiations to play Dr. Gravity in Kick-Ass 2.

Dr. Gravity is a member of Forever Justice, a superhero team created by Kick-Ass. He claims to be a Columbia physics professor who moonlights as a superhero. His weapon of choice? A “gravity pole” that bends the rules of physics when used against enemies.

In reality, he’s just a nobody who carries around a tinfoil-covered baseball bat.

Faison is best known for playing Zach Braff’s BFF on the long-running series Scrubs. For those 90s babies out there, you recognize him as Murray from Clueless. “Woman, lend me fi’ dollars!”

‘Kick-Ass 2’ starts principal photography next month. According to the film’s Facebook page, the movie will get a 2013 release.

Faison joins the returning cast of Aaron Johnson, Chloe Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Nicolas Cage. He won’t be the only new face on campus – John Leguizamo is climbing aboard, too.

Yancy Butler, who played Angie D'Amico, the mother of Christopher Mintz-Plasse's Red Mist in the original Kick-Ass, will return for the sequel, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Adapting the Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. comic, the sequel will be directed by Never Back Down helmer Jeff Wadlow and will feature a script by Matthew Vaughn.

A September start is being eyed for the film, which will have Mintz-Plasse, Aaron Johnson and Chloe Moretz reprising their roles along with new parts for John Leguizamo and Donald Faison.

Butler is well-known to comic book fans outside of Kick-Ass. She starred as cop-turned-superhero Sara Pezzini in the short-lived "Witchblade" television series.

"Somehow I’m supposed to do Kick-Ass 2 this year," Lyndsy Fonseca told IGN Movies at the San Diego Comic-Con last month. "I’m so excited, and I just pray that it all works out! I don’t know. They know that I’m on the show, so it’s not going to be a month of work because I can’t. I can’t do it. But I’ll at least be able to do something, which is very kind of them." As for her thoughts on the screenplay and director Jeff Wadlow, she added: "I read it. I think I read the latest draft -- I don’t think there’s been a new one -- and it was fantastic. It actually plays really well with how Chloe has grown up a little bit, but she’s not yet a young woman. I loved it. I think it’s really good. Jeff] seems incredibly nice though. He’s very excited, and I’m excited. Matthew [Vaughn]’s producing it, but I think it will be kind of cool to have a new point of view for the sequel."

As fans of the comic books will know, Katie and Kick-Ass never actually end up together in the Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. series. In the second volume, Red Mist/The Mother F*cker sends his goons to brutally rape her in a shocking attack on a neighbourhood which even sees children gunned down in the streets. While it was unlikely that that would ever make it into the big screen adaptation, the actress actually reveals that her role isn't a particularly large one. "She’s just in the beginning, so far. I’m just happy to be involved. She’s still the strange Katie – somewhat girl next door but has strange, drug-addict boyfriends and works at the needle exchange. Very contradicting personality traits... It’s still that weird!"

Can't wait to see all the new Apple products in this. I don't care about the story or actors, I just want more of the same gratuitous Apple product placement.

Kick-Ass 3 confirmed allready?!

Quote

As for scenes from the book, I can't really think of anything significant from Hit-Girl or Kick-Ass series that gets cut from the screenplay. There's a big scene at the end of Hit-Girl #5 that will probably go in the third movie, but otherwise it's as close an adaptation as the first.

that would be awesome, as long as Chloe continues to star in them!

[+Anarkii]

Yeah Chloe is one girl whos gunna grow up to be the next big thing in movies. She already is huge but once shes 18, her roles are just going to get better and better.

BTW Rappy have you seen Hick? It's easily her best performance yet as a actress.

From other comments made by Mark Millar, Kick-Ass 2 will incorporate the Hit Girl comics as well as the actual Kick-Ass 2 comics into one movie.
So far Hit Girl comics are just fantastic, and the Kick-Ass 2 comics was a excellent (and even more violent) read.

BRING IT ON

Jim Carrey May Join KICK-ASS 2 as Colonel Stars

Quote

Universal reportedly wants Jim Carrey to join the ass kicking in director Jeff Wadlow’s Kick-Ass 2. The sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s 2010 original film adaptation of the Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. comic already features returning cast members Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz, Nicolas Cage and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Carrey is being sought to play the role of Colonel Stars, a founding member of Justice Forever who recruits heroes to the crime fighting group.

After yesterday’s news that Universal was courting Jim Carrey for Jeff Wadlow’s Kick-Ass 2, now Lindy Booth (Dawn of the Dead) is in talks to star as yet another hero. Carrey was sought to play Colonel Stars, who forms the heroic team, Justice Forever. While Carrey may not take the role, Booth is currently in negotiations to star as the Night Bitch, a member of Justice Forever.

Kick-Ass 2, which features the return of stars Aaron Johnson, Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, stars filming next month in Toronto and New York. Hit the jump for more on Booth, Night Bitch and a recap of the casting so far.

night-bitch-kick-ass-2Heat Vision reports that Booth is in talks to play Night Bitch, a hero who joins Justice Forever after being inspired by Kick-Ass and hopes to avenge the murder of her sister. With the inclusion of Colonel Stars (which only has a slim chance of being played by Carrey, according to the report) and now the potential casting of Night Bitch, it seems as if Justice Forever is going to play a central part to the storyline. It’s possible we’ll get to see the group take on a human trafficking organization, similar to a storyline in the comics.

Uh, how is Nicholas Cage gonna be in it, other than a flashback or dream sequence? Then again, it's a comic, anyone can come back from the dead.
