Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010âs irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Assâ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse)âreborn as The Mother F%&*^râonly the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the worldâs first superhero team with Mindy.
Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, sheâs forced to retireâleaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes. Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the worldâs first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But thereâs only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.
