, due out in theaters this summer, is actually a blend of two comic book series in one film. Adapating both Kick-Ass 2 and the Hit-Girl miniseries, it’s always been safe to say that a good chunk of the movie would focus on Chloe Grace Moretz’s breakout character.So here we are: the first Hit-Girl-centered trailer for the new movie hangs some of the film’s success squarely on her shoulders, playing back and forth between her school life and her life as Hit-Girl, to which she escapes in her mind because that’s where she’s more confident.Incorporating the photo at left and the footage of Hit-Girl’s sparring match also seen in recently-released production stills and featuring the sure-to-be-quoted-around-high-schools line “This 15-year-old girl just owned your ass,” the trailer gives a sense for where they’re hoping to go with the character, who if they follow the source material quickly has quite an interesting arc in this second film.Oh, and check out our interview with Kick-Ass co-creator John Romita, Jr. about the film.
