" Chloe Moretz and Aaron Johnson are said to be in final talks to reprise their roles in Kick-Ass 2.  The actors starred in the 2010 action comedy about a high school comic book nerd who decides to become a super hero. Johnson played the title character Kick-Ass, while Moretz played a 10-year-old expert fighter known as Hit-Girl.  Both Johnson and Moretz are close to signing deals for returns to their roles, according to Deadline. Sources also say that Nicolas Cage will be returning for a cameo role, although reps for the actor claim he has yet to receive an offer.  It was earlier reported that Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn has stepped away from the sequel, with Never Back Down helmer Jeff Wadlow instead tipped to take charge.  A release for Kick-Ass 2 is expected in May 2013.  Moretz currently stars in the Tim Burton remake of Dark Shadows.
