Aaron Johnson Talks KICK-ASS 2 with Collider

Steve got to sit down with star Aaron Johnson recently at the Toronto Film Festival for his upcoming romantic drama adaptation Anna Karenina, and the actor talked briefly about what fans can expect in Kick-Ass 2. He revealed that they’ve excised some of the more disturbing material from Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s comic book counterpart and teased some interesting character developments. Hit the jump to see what he had to say.

Johnson was remiss to give away any plot specifics, but he teased a source material change that might prove interesting for fans:

“There’s some really interesting journeys [that] our characters embark on. I can’t really go too deep into it, but I’m really excited about it; we’ve got a great cast. There are some really disturbing things in the comic book which we’re not gonna put in, I think for the better. Yet it’s got all the elements there and probably more, it’s got a bit of narrative and story to be told, so it’s great.”
