Hidden within a report over at Deadline suggesting that Aaron Johnson, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Chloe Moretz are on the verge of nearing deals to reprise their roles in the recently-announced sequel to “Kick-Ass” (this, despite suggestions that Johnson wouldn’t be returning for the sequel and the studio would have to recast) is the tiny nugget that Nicolas Cage – whose character ‘Big Daddy’ exited for the great big cloud in the sky in the original film – will also be back.
Cage, who channeled Batman’s Adam West in his role as Moretz’s on-screen father in the Matthew Vaughn-directed “Kick-Ass”, will only be making a cameo this time around though.
Still, he’s back.
Might Big Daddy be a Ben Kenobi-ghost type that hangs about to steer his orphaned superhero daughter in the right direction? Or will the character pop up in a flashback sequence? Either way, it’s good news that Cage is coming back- he was terrific in the original film, and let’s admit it, he needs to be involved in a good film for once.
Jeff Wadlow (“Cry Wolf”) directs “Kick-Ass 2″, which looks set to shoot in the Fall.
