It has been a long time coming but fans of Kick-Ass will finally see a sequel hit cinemas in August, more than three years after the original.
And the cast are just as excited to be back in their makeshift superhero costumes as the audience are to watch their return.
Chloe Moretz may have been just 13 years old while shooting the first movie, but she still formed a close friendship with her co-star and on-screen rival Christopher Mintz-Plasse.

The pair are still best pals and have teamed up for an interview in the comedy issue of GQ.
Christopher admitted to the magazine that Chloe, who is seven years his junior, used to ‘beat’ him up while they promoted the first movie.
‘In almost every interview, Chloe would beat me up,’ he said of the then 13-year-old actress, who is now 16.
‘She was in fight training for months, and she was really freaking strong.’

When they weren’t fighting, the two wiled away the time in between interviews with a little sing-along, favouring the likes of Lady Gaga.
‘All we would do was sing Paparazzi,’ Christopher, 23, said. ‘The beautiful harmony of that chorus.’
Chloe added: ‘You did go for the high notes a lot.’
The pair are currently preparing for a press tour ahead of Kick-Ass 2’s release and Chloe has already picked out their next song.

‘I found a new song for us: Come & Get It by Selena Gomez,’ Chloe told her pal. ‘It's easy to learn. We can kill it.’
‘I'll download it right now and listen to it a million times,’ Christopher insisted. ‘I've gotta learn my lines.’
The duo also took part in a photo shoot for the special issue of the magazine in which they are seen pretending to wrestle.
Chloe, who sports a green top and shorts, black fishnets and red heeled sandals, comes up trumps with Christopher left feigning exhaustion and injury.
Long time coming: It has been more than three years since the release of Kick-Ass with Kick-Ass 2 set to hit cinemas later this year
