Last week we were the first to break the news that Matthew Vaughn would be premiering footage from his big screen adaptation of Kick-Ass at a panel at San Diego Comic-Con. I have some more big of new news regarding the panel and some new exclusive photos for you to look at.
Comic book artist and one of the film’s producers John Romita Jr has been officially announced as one of the panelists joining director Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layer Cake) on Thursday, July 23 during the Kick-Ass panel (which is toward the end of the day). I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally see some footage from this film.
On to the exclusive photos: After the jump, I have the full photo of Aaron Johnson as Kick-Ass / Dave with his hood off (partly seen above) and behind the scenes snap of John Romita Jr. (left) and creator/writer Mark Millar (right) on set.
