A fan film is based on the comic book series Kick-Ass. The film, titled Kick-Ass: The Reboot, is being produced by Sleepwalk Studios and stars George Paul Knapp as Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass.
The teaser trailer for Kick-ass shows Lizewski confronting a group of thugs in an alley. He is dressed in a homemade costume and wielding a baseball bat. The thugs are clearly surprised by Lizewski’s appearance, and they quickly back down.

The Kick-Ass Comic Book Series
Kick-Ass is a comic book series created by Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. The series was first published in 2008 and ran for 14 issues.
Kick-Ass tells the story of Dave Lizewski, a high school student who decides to become a superhero. Lizewski creates a homemade costume and begins fighting crime. He quickly gains popularity, but he also attracts the attention of some dangerous criminals.
The Kick-Ass comic book series was praised for its theme of humor, action, and violence. The series has been translated into over 30 languages and has sold over 8 million copies worldwide.
The Kick-Ass Movies
The Kick-Ass comic book series was adapted into two movies. The first movie, Kick-Ass, was released in 2010 and directed by Matthew Vaughn. It starred Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Dave Lizewski/Kick-Ass. It was a box office success, grossing over $130 million worldwide.
The second Kick-Ass movie, Kick-Ass 2, was released in 2013. The movie was directed by Jeff Wadlow. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Christopher Mintz-Plasse were in the cast. Though it was not as successful as the first movie, it earned only $85 million worldwide.
Despite the poor box office performance of Kick-Ass 2’s, it was revealed that a third film in the franchise was being produced in August 2013 but has since been stalled.
In November 2021, Miller updated fans on the threequel’s development status, revealing that he still plans to bring together the original cast for one final film. “There’s one last [Kick-Ass] story we want to tell, and it is the big finale storyline. But I hope that nobody misinterprets us for saying that Kick-Ass 3 is in the works, though for now, there’s just 100 percent no plans for it”.
