Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-A** universe kicks off again with ‘The Stuntman’
The skewed-superhero movie universe of the 2010 movie Kick-A** is rolling on.
Variety reports Argylle director Matthew Vaughn is producing The Stuntman and the as-yet-unreleased School Fight, the next chapters of the film series, which also spawned Kick-A** 2 in 2013.
The Stuntman is now underway, with former real-life stuntman Damien Walters behind the camera of the tale of two brothers who aspire to join the titular profession.
