Kick-Ass 2 komt er aan

Balls to the wall. Gedurfd, zeg ik! Mark Millar legt uit, onder de cut.

To me, this is the next logical step. When you ask that very simply, he would probably say, 'You know what? I'm not a tremendous fighter. I'm a little bit skinny. I'll got to the gym. I'll learn how to fight a little more. I'll learn karate.' So now he's got Hit-Girl training him up, and then as these guys start to appear online who are dressed in costumes, they talk about forming gangs and superhero teams. It's really simply what would happen next. They're just kids, really. Kick-Ass in this book is about 17, and Hit-Girl is 12. They're just excited about doing what they've always wanted to do, and they don't feel any sense of responsibility for all this even though it's quite an irresponsible thing that they're doing every night.

Facebookhelden vs. The Avengers;

I do think it's quite fun, the idea of a bunch of people on Facebook getting together to make a superteam, and they all want to be leader. We never see that in the Justice League or the Avengers. Superman or Cap just assumes that role, but I like the idea of a bunch of people bickering around the table going, 'Whoa, whoa, whoa...I got in touch with everyone. I'm the leader!' And some other guy's going, 'Hang on a minute, this is my basement. If you're coming over to my basement, then I'm the leader.' That kind of stuff. I don't want to give too much away, but you will see his team in the first issue.

En Red Mist, die nu natuurlijk de bad guy is, krijgt een sidekick. Zijn eigen Harley Quinn, zo je wilt;

Red Mist has got a kind of Harley Quinn figure. He becomes a kind of cross between Heath Ledger's Joker and the Crow. He's a fucked-up little goth guy who sees himself as the new Charles Manson, and he's got this Harley Quinn girl with him. The analogy was made by Chris Mintz-Plasse himself, saying, 'I want a girlfriend. Give me my Harley Quinn.' And it was a good idea.

Nog een film?

It really happened organically. I don't have to think about it too much, and if I did, I'd probably get some performance anxiety. This was an indie book that ended up outselling Batman or X-Men or Spider-Man, but it still really felt like a little indie book the whole time we've been doing it. I try not to think about the fact that, 'Okay, it'll probably be a movie in another year's time' and things like that. I just try to make it a little comic of its own.

That's a maybe. Ik hou je op de hoogte. Lees het hele interview op CBR.
