“Yeah, how do we do a commentary on pre-Kick-Ass, post-Kick-Ass.And post-Kick-Ass has a lot to do commentary on,” Vaughn said when asked about how Kick-Ass was ahead of its time, arriving long before The Boys. He further teased of the film, “We’re halfway through [production]. Dare I say — and it’s going to be a cliché coming out of this head of mine — it is a very, very meta universe. Kick-Ass was reinventing and creating an R-rated superhero, and no one was really doing it. This is taking that whole concept to a worthy…not even a sequel, because it’s just a whole new way of doing Kick-Ass, which couldn’t be more Kick-Ass.”

The Kick-Ass Reboot Will Launch a New Trilogy

Vaughn also recently confirmed his plans for the new Kick-Ass to be the start of an all-new trilogy of movies. He said that the plan is for the first installment to be called School Fight, which will then be followed by Vram and then Kick-Ass, though these titles are subject to change. Currently, the first installment has already been filmed with shooting chugging along on Vram. Vaughn showcased a jacket with the Vram logo during his Collider interview and suggested that the movies will start seeing the light of day once Vram is wrapped up.

“So, when this (Vram) is finished, I think this will launch, I’ll be conservative on this, if we’re lucky, Toronto, if we’re not lucky, Sundance. Well, this year, next year, if you know what I mean,” Vaughn said of the potential release plans.

The Kick-Ass reboot, aka School Fight, doesn’t have a release date at this time.
