After the less-the-stellar box office results and reviews of “Kick-Ass 2”, the franchise seemed to be dead in the water. Now Matthew Vaughn, who directed the first film and co-produced the second, says that a “Hit-Girl” prequel could be on the horizon. In a recent interview, Vaughn stated, “Do you know what’s going to be next if I do it…we’ve finished plotting it. What we have to do is, we’ve got to do the ‘X-Men: First Class’ to the Kick-Ass world. We lost a few fans on Kick-Ass 2. It wasn’t as loved as one would’ve hoped. So we have this idea for a Hit-Girl prequel. It’s a really strong, really simple prequel where I think we can regain the love and the passion. If that happens, I’m pretty sure I can persuade Aaron and Chloe to come back and finish the story of Kick-Ass with ‘Kick-Ass 3’. Mark and I have already plotted Hit Girl. We have to get the script done next. It’s so far out there, you have no idea.”<\/p>\n
Vaughn went on to say that he would not direct the third film but would look for a very bold and clever director like “The Raid” helmer Gareth Evans.<\/p>\n
