Kick-Ass Movies: Release Order
The Kick-Ass films offer a violent, irreverent take on the superhero genre, following ordinary teenagers who don costumes and fight crime in the real world. Based on Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s comic series, the franchise subverts superhero tropes with dark humor, graphic action, and consequences that feel genuinely dangerous.
Matthew Vaughn's original film became a cult classic for its bold R-rated approach, featuring breakout performances from Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the titular hero and Chloë Grace Moretz as the young assassin Hit-Girl. Jeff Wadlow's sequel expands the world with teams of amateur superheroes and villains. The release order matches the chronological story, as both films follow Dave Lizewski's continued adventures as Kick-Ass.
