We've seen a few images from Jeff Wadlow's upcoming sequel 'Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall,' but they've all been candid, unsanctioned set pics. Today, we have the first official still from the film. In the pic, our DIY superhero Kick-Ass (Aaron Johnson) converses with the towering Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey). I have to say, I'm impressed with the intimidating presence Carrey cuts. I'm excited to see what he does with the character. Take a look at the image below and let us know what you think.

'Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall' hits theaters June 28th

Hmm, wonder if Pepsi has a sponsoring deal with this. And yeah, looks interesting but I'm more hoping that the plot is different than the comic sequel to Kick-Ass. Good lord was that a depressing read.

LOLZ
the dog has a frikking mask as well

It must stay true to the comics. Fantastic read, loved the sequal.

This recommendation does not surprise me in the slightest.

[Famous Rocking Chimes]

Yeah the sequel comic just seemed to be mean purely for the sake of it. I really hope they tone it down for the film version.

I will be shocked if certain things actually make it into this movie..namely.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}The rape and what happens to that poor poor dog.

Although I have heard the first will be in but will be altered.

Well I read it's not going to include the following.

SPOILER: Click to show

{Spoiler}1. Child murder.
2. Rape.
3. Decapitation of both a human and animal and putting a dog's head in place of human head.

Hopefully. The change was for the better from the first one, as well. The, uhh, "ending" from the comic sucked a... well, what the lady does for it.

I already like the dog, so I hope not.
In fact, I hope the dog kills some bitches.

Yeah, if this strays from the source material or at least makes it less mean spirited, I'm on board. I liked the first one in spite of some changes that I wish they hadn't made, namely to Big Daddy.

And I disagree entirely. Big Daddy was infinitely better with actual motivation beyond: it could be fun.

Everything the movie did was better in every possible way.

[Evilution E5150]

this reminded me i own the first one on bluray

i dont know why, these stories are way to mean spirited as has already been mentioned, i cant really get into them

[Deleted]

This leads me to ask: Is it ok to watch these kind of movies without knowing the source material

Because I went into both Watchmen and Kick Ass without reading the comics and I enjoyed them both

This. I loved the movie so much. Plus Nicolas Cage doing a Adam West impersonation and making Big Daddy more likable and bad ass was by far the best change they did for the movie. Once again I'll watch the movie and may read the comics after seeing the movie like I did with the first one.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

well Watchmen, the book is way better. in fact, I'd say you have to like the book to enjoy the movie, because the movie is basically all the major plotpoints of the book without any of the important supplementary material. if you didn't read the book first you wouldn't give a shit about anything that happens on screen. the whole movie was basically "here's that moment from the book, on screen". at the same time it's about as good an adaptation as you'll ever get because the book is damn near unfilmable (it'd work as an HBO miniseries, but it sure as shit wasn't meant to be condensed into 2 hours).

as for Kick-ass, the movie is better. the whole point of the book was "lol people who like comic books are losers", and the movie wisely ditched that tone. it also got rid of most of the blatant shock value the book had. the second book was even worse, including a gratuitous rape scene (like everything else Mark Millar writes, seriously I think he has some nasty, unhealthy issues with women).

[xCompackx]

Yeah, I went into Kick-Ass without reading the comic and I enjoyed it a LOT more I think. I don't really know a lot about about the sequel comic, but I know what happens to the dog and I really doubt they could get away with that in a movie.

[the2ndevil]

I didn't know Kick-Ass was based on a comic until the "Based by on comic book by" credit. Love that movie. Was going to read the book, but then I found out about how Big Daddy was originally.
