The sequel to the critically acclaimed comic book drama Kick-Ass will be shot this summer, writer Mark Millar has revealed.

Millar revealed to the Daily Record that both the second Kick Ass film and his new movie American Jesus will be shot this summer: "We shoot Kick-Ass 2 and American Jesus this summer".

Doubts were raised over whether a second Kick-Ass film would happen after both director Matthew Vaughn and co-writer Jane Goldman faced scheduling conflicts. However, a new writer and director have been found for the project.

Cast members Chloe Moretz and Christopher Mintz-Plasse have previously let their interest in returning for a sequel be known.
