Kick-Ass 2 is a 2013 black comedy superhero film written and directed by Jeff Wadlow , based on the graphic novels Book Two and Book Three of Kick-Ass: The Dave Lizewski Years [b] by Mark Millar and John Romita, Jr. , and serving as a sequel to 2010's Kick-Ass . It stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson , Christopher Mintz-Plasse , Chloë Grace Moretz , and Jim Carrey , with the former trio reprising their roles from the first film. The film follows Dave Lizewski / Kick-Ass (Taylor-Johnson) who joins a vigilante team called "Justice Forever", while Mindy Macready / Hit Girl (Moretz) attempts to live a normal life, and Chris D'Amico (Mintz-Plasse) taking up the mantle of The Motherfucker and forming a supervillain team to take revenge on Kick-Ass.

Kick-Ass 2 was released on 14 August 2013 in the United Kingdom, 16 August in the United States, and 24 February 2014 in Japan by Universal Pictures and United International Pictures . Kick-Ass 2 earned $60.8 million on a $30 million budget. It received mixed reviews from critics, with many deeming it inferior to the first film.

Four years after the death of Damon Macready and defeating Frank D'Amico , Dave Lizewski , bored after having retired from fighting crime as Kick-Ass, begins training with Hit-Girl (Mindy Macready) to become a real hero. Following the death of his father, Chris D'Amico accidentally kills his own mother by kicking her tanning bed, causing it to short-circuit. Now in control of his father's criminal empire, Chris decides to become a supervillain named The Motherfucker, adapting a BDSM suit for his costume, and assembles a gang of supervillains called the Toxic Mega Cunts with his aide Javier and gains a cult following on Twitter , swearing vengeance on Kick-Ass. The other leading members of the Toxic Mega Cunts include African-American UFC fighter Black Death, short-stature mob enforcer The Tumor, ex-Triad gang member Genghis Carnage, and the only woman on the team, former Russian bodyguard Mother Russia.

Mindy's guardian, Marcus, discovers she is still fighting crime and makes her promise to give it up. Dave resumes his life as Kick-Ass, joining the superhero team Justice Forever (which Dave had inspired), led by ex-mafia member and born-again Christian , Colonel Stars and Stripes. Kick-Ass begins a sexual relationship with Night Bitch, one of the members (after breaking up with his girlfriend Katie Deauxma due to her mistakenly believing him to have been cheating on her with Mindy). He and Marty, who is also on the team as Battle Guy, alienate their friend Todd from participating in their heroics because Todd's superhero persona "Ass-Kicker" is an obvious knockoff of Kick-Ass. Mindy, attempting to lead a normal life, tries out for the dance team at school, and promptly asks a boy to take her on a date after declining to join Justice Forever. The date ends up as a cruel prank planned by bullies in her school, but Mindy gets her revenge the next day, resulting in her suspension from school and her grounding by Marcus when he finds out.

Dave's father discovers Dave is Kick-Ass after finding his superhero costume, and they have an argument which leads Dave to leave home. After his imprisoned uncle has Javier killed, a now-deranged Chris kills Colonel Stars and Stripes, and attempts to rape Night Bitch the following day, but fails due to impotence and has her beaten up instead. Chris's henchwoman Mother Russia kills the arriving authorities, resulting in a police clampdown on both costumed villains and vigilantes. When the police track Dave through his IP address , Dave's father surrenders, claiming that he is Kick-Ass, in Dave's place. Chris, tipped off by Todd, who has joined the Toxic Mega Cunts unaware that they are psychopaths, has Mr. Lizewski murdered in police custody, revealing his true identity.

The Toxic Mega Cunts sabotage Mr. Lizewski's funeral and kidnap Dave, but Mindy rescues him. Afterwards, Dave, Mindy and the remaining members of Justice Forever, joined by a resurgence of masked do-gooders, battle and defeat the outnumbered Toxic Mega Cunts. Mindy, as Hit-Girl, defeats and kills Mother Russia with the help of an adrenaline dose in battle, while Dave and Chris fight on a rooftop. Chris crashes through a skylight, landing in a water tank where he is mauled by a shark.

Justice Forever decides to take a break from its superhero duties, helping people in their ordinary lives instead. Mindy tells Dave that she is leaving New York due to being wanted for murder, but that the citizens need Kick-Ass. As police officers raid Marcus's home to investigate Mindy's whereabouts, Dave accepts the responsibility and begins training and upgrading his equipment.

In a post-credits scene , Chris, who has survived the shark attack, and whose limbs and genitals were bitten off by the shark, complains for attention over an out of reach cup of water.

Additionally, comic book creators Mark Millar [5] and John Romita, Jr. , [5] former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell , [6] and Aaron Taylor-Johnson's stepdaughter Angelica Jopling make cameo appearances in the film. [ citation needed ]

On 8 May 2012, it was reported that a sequel to Kick-Ass (2010) would be distributed by Universal Studios , and that Matthew Vaughn had chosen Jeff Wadlow , who also wrote the script, to direct the sequel. [7] Later that month, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Chloë Grace Moretz entered negotiations to reprise their roles as Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl, respectively. [8] Chad Gomez Creasey and Dara Resnik Creasey performed uncredited work on Wadlow's script to make Hit-Girl more feminine and less crass in light of Moretz's older age. [9] In July 2012, Christopher Mintz-Plasse confirmed that he would return as Chris D'Amico who becomes the supervillain The Motherfucker. [10] Mintz-Plasse expressed relief that a rape and child murder scene from the comic book would not be included in the film and went on to compare the gang violence in the story to the film The Warriors (1979). [10] That same month, it was announced that John Leguizamo would play a character named Javier, one of The Motherfucker's bodyguards. [11] In August 2012, it was reported that Donald Faison would play the superhero Doctor Gravity. [12] Also that month, Yancy Butler was set to reprise her role as Angie D'Amico, [13] Lyndsy Fonseca stated that she would return as Katie Deauxma in a smaller role, [14] [15] Robert Emms was cast as the former police officer turned superhero Insect Man, [16] Morris Chestnut was confirmed to replace Omari Hardwick as Hit-Girl's guardian Marcus Williams, [17] Lindy Booth was confirmed to play Night Bitch, a superhero seeking to avenge the murder of her sister, [18] Andy Nyman was announced to play one of the villains named The Tumor, [19] and Claudia Lee joined the cast as Brooke, the leader of a gang of school bullies. [20]

In September 2012, Jim Carrey was cast in the role of Colonel Stars and Stripes, the leader of superhero group Justice Forever. [21] Also in September, Enzo Cilenti was confirmed to appear in the film. [22] It was confirmed that bodybuilder Olga Kurkulina would portray the villainess Mother Russia. [23] It was revealed that Clark Duke would reprise his role as Marty Eisenberg, who becomes the superhero Battle Guy, [24] and that Augustus Prew would take over the role of Todd Haynes, who becomes the superhero Ass-Kicker, from Evan Peters . [25] Principal photography began on 7 September 2012 in Mississauga , Ontario , Canada. Once filming in Mississauga wrapped in late September, the cast and crew continued shooting in London , England , at Ashmole Academy . [26] Filming concluded on 23 November 2012. [27]

In the film's opening weekend, Kick-Ass 2 opened in fifth place, with $13.3 million, behind The Butler (in its first weekend), We're the Millers , Elysium , and Planes (all in their second weekends). [28] This placed it below industry experts' expectation of around $15 million and studio higher hopes of as much as $19.8 million, in line with the first film. The film would gross $28.8 million in the United States and $32 million in other countries for a total gross of $60.8 million, much less than the first film's total of $96.1 million. [29]

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 32% based on 211 reviews and an average rating of 4.9/10. The site's critical consensus reads: " Kick-Ass 2 falls short in its attempt to emulate the original's unique blend of ultra-violence and ironic humor." [30] On Metacritic the film has a weighted average score of 41 out of 100 based on 35 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [31] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film
