When fans last saw Kick Ass his weediness was one of the hallmarks of the character.
But it seems Aaron Taylor-Johnson will win a whole new legion of female fans after bulking up for the long-awaited sequel.
The 22-year-old shows of his new look physique in the new trailer Kick-Ass 2, in which the film's other main star Chloe Moretz also features heavily.

Dynamic tension: Aaron Taylor-Johnson unleashes his inner Charles Atlas in the new Kick Ass 2 trailer
Big difference: Aaron's scrawniness was one of his character's calling cards in the original 2010 film
However it is Aaron's new look appearance that will be the most noteworthy development for fans of the first film, particularly as Kick-Ass' actual lack of pugilistic talent was one of the most guffaw raising aspects of the original.
One person who will surely appreciate his new look is his much older wife Sam Taylor-Wood, 46, who he married last June.
But despite his new beefcake credentials, it seems Dave Lizewskiis still as awkward and seemingly unsuited as a superhero as ever.
One of the other main plot points of the forthcoming film will be Hit-Girl struggling to fit in at high school, where she goes by her real name Mindy Macready.
She is shocked to be selected by her peers for the role of head girl, and it is not long before it is getting in the way of her crime fighting urges.
However, she is also forced to hang up her leather suit, albeit briefly after she is caught sneaking out on a school night.

'But in reality, he just comes back and gets stoned, and he spends a lot of money.
