Kick-Asswill make a stomping return to our screens, but none of the original cast will be back. Matthew Vaughn, who helmed the Kick-Ass franchise, shared the tease at New York Comic Con.

“Kick-Ass changed people’s perception of what a superhero film is. We’re doing it again,” Vaughn said during a panel (H/TEntertainment Weekly). “None of the other characters from the other Kick-Ass are in it, though we’d like to have them back after the reboot. I can’t really talk about it, but it’s fun!”
