Kick-Ass 2 is released in the UK this Friday (August 16), and sees Aaron Taylor-Johnson and ChloÃ« Grace Moretz reprise their roles as self-made superheroes Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl.

Christopher Mintz-Plasse also returns as the villainous Red Mist, who is inspired by a family tragedy to reinvent himself as The Motherf**ker.

Digital Spy sat down with Mintz-Plasse to discuss his character's evolution, and the reasons why several of his character's darker scenes from Mark Millar's original comic had to be cut.

Millar and new writer-director Jeff Wadlow also discuss the development of the sequel, and the likelihood of a third film.

Asked about Jim Carrey's withdrawal of support for the film, Millar, Wadlow, Mimtz-Plasse and Moretz suggested that the actor had "done the film a favour" by attracting more publicity.

Kick-Ass 2 is released on August 14 in the UK, and August 16 in the US.
