But it enters a tough marketplace (though one lacking superhero films) with Elysium, Pacific Rim and The Wolverine slugging it out for a share of action market. The original theatrical film took more than $100 million internationally and profile was further boosted by a very healthy home entertainment take, and certainly there is an expectant audience out there keen for the sequel. In truth, what fans of Kick-Ass probably yearned for was a ‘Hit Girl’ movie. This equally playful sequel ticks lots of right boxes (violence, foul-mouthed language, dark humour) but ultimately feels rather scattershot and disjointed, perhaps quite simply because it lacks the sheer left-field originality of Kick-Ass…while the filmmakers are trying to develop their characters, in truth it is at its best when it is simply replaying (or maybe remaking) the over-the-top action moments of its predecessor.

She was at the festival with Desiree Akhavan’s gay conversion therapy drama “The Miseducation of Cameron Post.” She will next appear in Luca Guadagnino’s “Suspiria” remake. Moretz has worked with A-list directors such as Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, Olivier Assayas, and Kimberly Peirce. Moderated by Sundance Film Festival Director John Cooper, the hour-long conversation spanned Moretz’s career, which is quite prolific for someone so young. The 21-year-old actress was in Provincetown to receive the festival’s Next Wave Award. “I kinda wanna keep everyone’s mind in ‘Kick-Ass.’ So I don’t think there will be a ‘Kick-Ass 3,’ at least I don’t think with Hit-Girl in it.” “As much as I love the character of Hit-Girl, I think she lives and survives in ‘Kick-Ass,’ and I kind of want to keep her there,” she said. Moretz said she wants fans to remember Hit-Girl as she was in the first film. Many fans were perplexed that “Kick-Ass 2” ended with a kiss between Hit-Girl and the titular superhero Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), as the characters had previously shared a more sibling-like relationship, particularly in the first half of the sequel. Because I think we were all kind of looking forward to something a little different than what happened with it all.”

“I wish the second one had been handled in a little bit of a different way. “I love the franchise, I think the first movie was really, really special,” the actress said during a festival event over the weekend. The solo spinoff would follow a younger or older version of Hit-Girl, though Vaughn did not say which.
