I don't think of me being me." Oh, what men will do to support their families. C'mon! I don't think of it as anything other than a dance, really. So she's older now, yes, but she was already way more mature than most teenagers, anyway." Or filming threesome sex scenes with Blake Lively and Taylor Kitsch: "If you agree to do a sex scene, you have to be willing to not be awkward about it. That was very new to me." Same as running up a body count in Kick-Ass 2 alongside foulmouthed, super scandalizing 16-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz: "I mean, when I first worked with her, she was 12. (She poached him directly from the set of the Lennon movie, and they swapped surnames.) Accordingly, he seems to regard his career with a middle-aged evenness, dismissing the awesome parts of being an actor: "Turning down roles just means more family." As though, say, training to fight a freshly conceived, freshly pissed Godzilla (his next film) is simply a vacation from family life: "We were assigned a Marine who's worked a bunch of movies.
#AARON TAYLOR JOHNSON KICK ASS 2 MOVIE#
At 23, he holes up in London nearly full-time ("I'm trying to do just one movie a year that'd be a luxury," he says) with his 46-year-old wife, artist/director Sam Taylor-Johnson, their two young daughters, and her two kids from a previous marriage. But it's the quality of the young Brit's personal life that contrasts most surreally with the roles. He's basically the inverse of typecast, having played a pubescent John Lennon, a comic-book nerd turned vigilante ( Kick-Ass, the first and second), a polyamorous-with Serena van der Woodsen and Tim Riggins!-pot tycoon in Oliver Stone's Savages, and a poodle-ish Count Vronsky ( Anna Karenina).

Central to the franchise’s appeal is its insistence that real people are doing these things - that, as the dialogue twice insists, “this is not a comic book.” The first film cheated that premise by making Hit Girl capable of impossibly choreographed mayhem this one goes further on that front, and on others as well. In that scene and elsewhere, the film’s tone comes close to implosion. As his name suggests, this creep’s agenda is not PG-rated: In one scene, he rapes someone close to Kick-Ass, an event made more disturbing by the laughs the script hopes to get from it. As he leads the team to take down kingpins of gambling and prostitution, might he be clearing the underworld field for his own return to crime? Either way, a new villain is busy empire-building: Chris D’Amico ( Christopher Mintz-Plasse), the spoiled rich kid who spent the last film trying to be a hero, has rechristened himself “The Motherf-er” and hired all the thugs he can find in order to destroy Kick-Ass and those he cares about.

The only combat-ready member of the team is Colonel Stars and Stripes (Carrey), an ex-mob enforcer who knows where villains congregate and has the nerve to take them on. Aaron Johnson talks KICK-ASS 2 Sequel, confirms he'll return with Chloe Grace Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasses and says it keeps the 'hard R feel' This weekend, Collider got to participate in the press junket for Savages, the new film from three-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Oliver Stone. After the first film’s events, dozens of other normal folks have been inspired to adopt crime-fighting personae Kick-Ass teams with some of them under the moniker Justice Forever. This storyline eventually reaches a satisfying (if cartoonish) conclusion, but its main effect is to make Mindy a civilian long enough for Dave’s costumed alter ego to enjoy some heroic action that isn’t upstaged by Hit Girl.
